The Frederick Douglass Foundation is a public policy and educational organization which brings the sanctity of free market and limited government ideas to bear on the hardest problems facing our nation. We are pro-active in developing our ideas with the assistance of elected officials, scholars from universities and colleges and community activist. Through publications such as e-magazine The Freedom Journal, lectures and special events, we will distribute those ideas to policy makers and key opinion leaders to make meaningful change

Our goals are to educate, enhance, and empower:

A. By being a liaisons to Black, Faith Based, Conservative candidates, party and elected officials.

B. We will reach out to educate the social, cultural, spiritual, and civic rights needs of our nation.

C. We will train political workers, volunteers, and candidates as leaders in the political arena.

D. Provide tools for improving the economic status of the individuals, families
businesses within the targeted communities, thus, enhancing the quality of life.

E. Assist families in their efforts to remain safe and self-sufficient through education and training.

F. Develop community outreach projects that educate the community on housing, medical information, job training projects, and literacy development.

We plan on presenting position papers in the following areas:

Providing a sound, basic education to every child.

Crushing tax burdens on families and businesses.

The costly, immoral, and destructive welfare state.

Lack of economic opportunities for all citizens.

A decline of individual freedom and self-reliance.

We believe:

America is the land of liberty where the natural rights of individuals precede and supersede the power of the state.

Our nation is a constitutional republic in which government power is limited and employed for the purpose of providing legitimate public goods rather than for the benefit of insiders and narrow interest groups.

The United State is a free market society in which persons, individually or collectively, have the natural right to sell goods and services to willing buyers, and in which the individual pursuit of economic opportunity benefits all.

Our greatest strength lies in the fact that we live in a free society where citizens solve social problems not only through the government but also by working together in families, neighborhoods, churches, charities, and other private, voluntary organizations
