About The Traveling Circus Alliance
Learn about our mission, vision, and the work we do to support progressive independent content creators.
Our Vision
The Traveling Circus Alliance envisions a media landscape where progressive viewpoints have equal reach and resources, where quality content thrives regardless of market forces, and where diverse voices shape public discourse.
We are committed to supporting progressive independent content creators in growing their audiences and achieving sustainability. We believe in the power of authentic voices that further equity, diversity, accessibility, and systemic critique through subject matter rather than explicit political messaging.
Supporting Creators
We raise funds to help progressive-adjacent content creators grow their audiences. By providing financial support, resources, and networking opportunities, we help creators focus on creating quality content without sacrificing their authentic voice.
Our approach is to seek established creators who have found their niche and voice and can use our support as rocket fuel to get to the next level.
Addressing the Monetization Challenge
Creators today face a difficult choice: speak their truth or pay their bills. Brands increasingly demand apolitical neutrality from influencers to avoid backlash, with 72% of agencies vetting creators' political posts pre-collaboration.
We want to address this trade-off and help creators be authentic to what they believe without sacrificing their income.
