About Us
Mission Statement
The American Freedom Alliance is a non-partisan, non-profit organization which promotes, defends and upholds Western values and ideals. AFA sponsors conferences, publishes opinions, distributes information and creates networking groups to identify threats to Western civilization and to motivate, educate and unite citizens in support of that cause.
Vision
The American Freedom Alliance aims to build an international coalition of citizens of the West which involves writers, academic thinkers, and citizens from all around the world, who will join together through seminars, conferences, publications and activist networks, to promote and protect moral values, democracy and freedom.
Statement of Purpose
It is affirmed that modern civil society thrives on freedom of religion and the freedom of choice. Without these freedoms the human personality and its potential for goodness, creativity and altruism are stifled. To the extent that these freedoms are denied, the opportunities for oppression, coercion, and totalitarianism are mutiplied exponentially.

Annual Lecture Series
The AFA Annual Lecture Series provides the public with an opportunity to hear world famous writers, academics and leaders addressing issues of concern to the future of Western civilization. The series is often run in cooperation with other like minded organizations and presented at universities, public libraries, cultural centers and other locations of public gathering.

Each meeting will feature an appearance by the author or a surrogate who is closely associated with the work or its theme.

Conferences of the Air
AFA Conferences of the Air are offered monthly as a means of addressing subjects central to the survival of Western values and ideals without the expense and difficulty of bringing all the speakers together in the same room. These conferences, which at times have been known to host over 25 participating speakers, can range in length from 90 minutes to four hours. They can be accessed free of charge in real time or else in real time or reviewed at a listener’s leisure on this archived site. Biographies of all speakers are made available, often with links to their individual websites.
