About Americans for Prosperity
Our Missions
Americans for Prosperity
(AFP) is committed to educating citizens about economic policy and mobilizing
those citizens as advocates in the public policy process. AFP is an
organization of grassroots leaders who engage citizens in the name of limited government
and free markets on the local, state, and federal levels. AFP grassroots
activists advocate for public policies that champion the principles of
entrepreneurship and fiscal and regulatory restraint. To that end, AFP
supports:
Cutting taxes and government
spending in order to halt the encroachment of government in the economic lives
of citizens by fighting proposed tax increases and pointing out evidence of
waste, fraud, and abuse.
Removing unnecessary barriers to
entrepreneurship and opportunity by sparking citizen involvement early in the
regulatory process in order to reduce red tape.
Restoring fairness to our judicial
system.
Who We Are
The heart and soul of AFP is our
citizen activists. They organize events, write letters to the editor, and
petition their lawmakers to uphold freedom and prosperity. Americans for
Prosperity has more than 2.3 million activists in all 50 states and 34 state
chapters and affiliates. More than 90,000 Americans in all 50 states have made
a financial contribution to AFP or our sister organization, AFP Foundation.
What We Do
AFP’s network of organized and
influential citizen leaders in a growing number of states throughout the
country is working to change the nation one state at a time.
AFP mobilizes citizens to
effectively make their voices heard in public policy issue campaigns.
AFP educates citizens about where
their elected officials stand on our issues.
AFP combines “best-in-class”
capabilities built once at the national level with local knowledge from our
state staff and on-the-ground grassroots to create economies of scale that win.
AFP leverages our comparative
advantages with those of other groups by building coalitions of local, state,
and national grassroots organizations fighting for a common cause.
