Representatives Yvette Clarke and Beth Van Duyne launched the bipartisan Congressional Creators Caucus to support the rapidly growing creator economy, which could be worth half a trillion dollars by 2027. With over 390,000 jobs estimated in YouTube's ecosystem alone, the need for regulatory oversight is crucial. The caucus aims to educate Congress on the realities faced by creators and push for acknowledgments of their small business status, as highlighted by advocates like MatPat and Stephanie Patrick of Theorist Media.
As digital content creators' online presence continues to reach billions globally, Congress must work to ensure resources and protections are in place to support their success in this new era of start-ups.
We're trying to educate lawmakers about what the creator economy is, and that it's an actual job and that we are actually small businesses, and as a result, there are certain tax codes and things that apply to small businesses.
