About Freedom Conservativsm
Freedom Conservatism brings together thousands of conservative leaders across the country who believe that individual liberty, free markets, commonsense values, and constitutional government are what have made the United States the freest, strongest, most virtuous, and most prosperous nation in history, and that they are essential to its future.
Freedom Conservatism began as a conversation among conservative thought leaders committed to limited government, individual liberty, and civic pluralism at a time when many Americans, including some on the right, were questioning these values. It is grounded in a modern Statement of Principles intended to help conservatives apply the enduring ideals of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution to today’s challenges.
