What Fuels the Freedom to Dream Bigger?

For nearly 250 years, Americans have taken bold steps to push the boundaries of what’s possible to achieve their own unique American Dreams.

But what about today?

Grounded in our nation’s founding principles, we’re calling on all Americans to join the fight to expand freedom and opportunity and ensure the next generation of innovators and trailblazers can realize their own version of the American Dream.

Leading With Purpose: Reigniting the American Dream

“As a young college graduate working on Capitol Hill, I quickly realized that real power doesn’t reside in the halls of Congress—it lives with the people. That insight led me to Americans for Prosperity, where I’ve spent over a decade witnessing how one small step—like a conversation, a call, or a community event—can spark meaningful change. As we approach our nation’s 250th anniversary, I believe it’s up to each of us to take that first small step to reignite the promise of America.”

Leading with Purpose: Empowering every American to use their voice

“I’m continually inspired by the power of individuals taking that first small step toward change. Our mission is to empower Americans to raise their voices and champion the principles that enable freedom and opportunity. Whether it’s a conversation with a neighbor, a call to a lawmaker, or participating in a local event, these actions collectively drive meaningful progress. As we approach America’s 250th anniversary, it’s clear that the future of the American Dream depends on engaged citizens committed to preserving our founding ideals.”

Chase Downham Americans for Prosperity, Chief Operating Officer

Leading with Purpose: Taking action starts with one small step

“I’ve seen firsthand how one small step can ignite lasting change. Across our 36 state chapters, we empower individuals to raise their voices—whether by organizing community events, engaging with lawmakers, or simply having meaningful conversations with neighbors. These actions, though seemingly small, collectively drive significant policy reforms and strengthen our communities. We aim to equip citizens with the tools and support they need to advocate for freedom and opportunity.”

Now it's more important than ever to take action

America is at a crossroads. As we approach our 250th anniversary, we face critical choices about our nation’s future and how we define our shared American identity. It’s on each of us to shape the future of the limited-government movement in America. There has never been a more important time to build the nation’s largest community of Americans bound by our unwavering commitment to advancing our founding principles that expand freedom and opportunity across our nation.
