Organization Description
Coalition for Liberty is the catalyst for fighting cancel culture in our country and acting as the “sword and shield” to champion everyday Americans by aggressively pushing back against radical forces’ dishonest attacks on Americans for their personal beliefs.
Further, we are the force multiplier to bolster the work of the liberty movement, providing pro-liberty organizations with strategic resources, expertise, and partnerships that uniquely support their missions to protect and advance American values.
We accomplish these objectives by leveraging, connecting, and enhancing the existing infrastructure of established pro-liberty organizations through these core strategic efforts:
- Leading a well-coordinated and broad-based legal push-back against those who want to silence and intimidate everyday Americans.
- Providing grassroots support to pro-liberty organizations and managing our unique networking tool, the Liberty Directory.
- Creating “woke-free” education opportunities for young Americans.
