A powerful episode of the Going Big! podcast with our CEO, Emily Seidel, and Kevin Gentry! Emily shared how her early career on Capitol Hill taught her a lasting truth: politics isn’t controlled by immovable forces—it’s shaped by individuals who step up and take action. At AFP, our mission is to amplify your voice and drive meaningful change to reignite the American Dream. One of the biggest challenges ahead? The expiration of the 2017 tax cuts in 2026. These cuts helped millions of families thrive, but if they’re not extended, Americans could face tax hikes of up to $3,500 a year—at a time when many are already burdened by rising costs. In the podcast, Emily and Kevin dive into what’s at stake and how citizen-led action can shift public opinion and influence real policy change. The stakes are too high for inaction. AFP’s grassroots network is built to turn bold ideas into action—and we’re just getting started.
An incredible discussion with Speaker Mike Johnson! Yesterday, we explored the 7 Principles of Conservatism and why the reconciliation package is critical to every American’s future. AFP’s grassroots network plays a key role in turning ideas into action—bringing personal stories to Washington and ensuring policymakers understand the real impact of their decisions. Thank you to Speaker Johnson and Guy Benson for the insightful conversation and to everyone who joined us.
Inauguration Day 2025: A New Chapter for Policy Progress January 20 marks Inauguration Day, which brings with it both a new administration and renewed opportunities to promote our community’s vision on many issues, including The Economy, Foreign Policy, and Constitutionally Limited Government. Many of our priority issues that were top of mind for voters this past fall are on the table and within reach as we enter this new Congress. At the federal level, our colleagues at Americans for Prosperity, Concerned Veterans for America, and LIBRE are preparing to make strides in several key areas, including: Taxes, Spending, and Budget Reform: Last week, AFP launched “Protect Prosperity,” a $20 million nationwide grassroots campaign calling on Congress to protect prosperity and renew President Trump’s highly successful Tax Cuts and Jobs Act – a measure AFP activists were instrumental in passing back in 2017 and a cornerstone of AFP and the Trump administration’s shared legislative agenda this year. If Congress fails to renew the TCJA, millions of Americans will have to pay an extra $1,500 or more in taxes next year. Other areas include: Curbing the Administrative State Immigration Foreign Policy As new opportunities arise, AFP remains committed to standing for policies that advance freedom and opportunity. Stay tuned to see how AFP continues to advance our principles alongside the new Congress and new administration.
Since 2004, AFP has become America’s most impactful grassroots force. We have spent 20 years empowering citizens to drive change and advance policies that put people first. It’s amazing to see us go from a scrappy team of activists to a grassroots army with 36 state chapters. This Christmas and holiday season, we reflect on the countless victories achieved through grassroots action. We’ve championed new education freedom programs in states like Louisiana, paved the way to roll back outdated regulations by ending Chevron deference, and supported efforts across several states to eliminate barriers that stifle entrepreneurs. And that’s just the beginning. Imagine the possibilities 2025 holds. Next year, we’re committed to working alongside everyday Americans to: - Renew 2017 tax cuts - Push Congress to adopt a balanced budget - Eliminate outdated & restrictive regulations - Restore the rule of law at the border and promote fair, legal immigration - Expand education freedom options Take a moment to reflect with us on 20 years of AFP’s impact!
