Program accomplishments

  • The Freedom Matters Podcast completed its third year and continues to reach approximately 5,000 monthly listeners. The program addresses current state and national issues to educate citizens on matters of liberty, governance, and individual rights. In 2024, we hosted the Freedom First fundraising event featuring keynote speaker Steve Deace, which successfully brought together supporters and members of the public for an evening of education and engagement on our legislative activities and ongoing efforts to advance limited government and individual liberty in Tennessee. Our Town Hall events continued throughout 2024, providing communities across Tennessee with opportunities to engage directly with elected officials on key local and state issues. These events further our mission of promoting civic engagement and constitutional understanding at the local level. A portion of program expenses supported the creation and distribution of educational materials and grants to other charitable organizations aligned with our mission.
