International Committee for Artists' Freedom (ICAF)
Made up of Equity members who represent the skills covered by Equity and who offer a diversity of knowledge and experience. As members of ICAF they share the same commitment - to campaign on behalf of overseas artists facing oppression and emergency aid situations. Since its formation ICAF has taken up the cause of artists from many countries around the world facing hardship, censorship, exile, persecution, imprisonment, torture or even death. Each case is assessed individually, impartially and apolitically and all decisions are based purely on professional and humanitarian considerations. www.artistsfreedom.org
