— Leading Liberty Globally —

"We freedom activists have to unite. Whether we come from Venezuela or Iran - the United States or Spain - our vision for the future is the same: a world where our freedom is protected, economic opportunity is ensured, and human dignity is respected.”

— Jorge Jraissati at Harvard University

Our Mission

The mission of AFL is to provide its members with the support needed for developing pro-liberty initiatives, including founding organizations, establishing social programs, proposing policy reform, launching conferences, conducting research, mobilizing humanitarian aid, and organizing policy summits and roundtables to discuss ways to advance liberty.

Our Vision

In the coming decade, our vision is to see thousands of AFL members collaborating on pro-liberty agendas at the highest levels of government, diplomacy, academia, and beyond.

Our Fight

We live in a world where dictators are uniting and advancing their oppressive agenda within and beyond their borders. We are also experiencing the dismantling of our institutions in democratic countries like the United States and Canada. Globally, freedom is under attack. We have to fight back.

Our Programs

Leading Liberty Program

Through this program, we work alongside leaders advancing liberty in their countries. Our initiatives are related to international advocacy, public policy, political activism, and community empowerment, among others. If you are interested in pitching us your initiative, please fill out this form.

Liberty Summits

AFL liberty summits bring together leaders from different parts of the world working on similar policy issues. Our goal is to create synergy between their individual initiatives as well as incentivize them to work together on shared projects. We are currently working on organizing three submits on economic development, national security, and technology, respectively. If you are interested in participating in our Liberty Summits and would like to get notified when we announce a call for applications, please fill out the summit interest form.

Policy Roundtables

With our Freedom Meetings initiative, we seek to create spaces of cooperation and channels of communication between freedom activists and relevant stakeholders, such as policymakers, academics, and businesspeople. We have organized meetings in cities such as Brussels, Washington, Cape Town, and Madrid. If you are interested in organizing or attending a freedom meeting in your city, please let us know.

Policy Dialogues

Our open policy dialogues bring together SFL alumni with key stakeholders to discuss issues ranging from America’s monetary policy and Europe’s political polarization to the geopolitics of the Middle East and the development challenges of Sub-Saharan Africa. We have done sessions in partnership with institutions such as King’s College London, the United Nations, and the European Parliament.
