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 a collection of pro-active individuals
committed to developing innovative and new approaches to today's problems with the assistance of elected officials, scholars
from universities and colleges and community activist.
Through the use of The Freedom Journal e-Magazine, 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 organizations, 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.
Members of the Frederick Douglass Foundation believe:
We live in a land of liberty where natural rights of individuals precede and supersede the power of the state.
We are 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.
We are a free market 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.
We are a free society where citizens solve social problems not only through government but also by working together in families,
neighborhoods, churches, charities, and other private, voluntary organizations.

Frederick Douglass Foundation
"Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy
to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe." - Frederick Douglass -
