Author, Philanthropist Ethel Gardner Joins Creators' Rights Movement Advisory Board

NEW YORK - EntSun -- The Creators' Rights Movement (CRM), a national advocacy organization advancing creator ownership and fair compensation, announced today that author and nonprofit founder Ethel Gardner has joined the movement's Advisory Board, strengthening CRM's work at the intersection of intellectual property protection, literacy, and cultural preservation.

Gardner is the founder of the Kennedy Austin Foundation, a nonprofit established to educate,
equip, and empower women and families impacted by grief after loss and domestic violence.
Through partnerships and community-based support services, the foundation provides
resources and programming designed to help individuals move from crisis toward stability and
healing.

"As creators, we can't afford to live on pause. Our work, our voices, and our futures matter," Gardner said. "Don't let fear write your story. Bless my yes and move life forward."

As a CRM Advisory Board member, Gardner will provide strategic guidance to help the movement expand public education around creator rights, strengthen community partnerships, and elevate real-world perspectives from authors and cultural leaders. Advisory board members typically support mission alignment, serve as thought partners on outreach initiatives, and help broaden visibility and trust with key audiences, especially creators who are navigating publishing, licensing, and long-term ownership decisions.
