We fight for a free and open society.
Authoritarianism is on the rise.
Authoritarianism is resurging across the globe, threatening the foundations of free societies.
From nationalist strongmen to theocrats and centralized state control, illiberal forces are dismantling individual rights and democratic institutions. These movements prey on fear, division, and misinformation to consolidate power and silence dissent. History has shown that every time authoritarians gain control, prosperity declines, freedoms vanish, and lives are lost.
If we do not act now, we risk watching centuries of liberal progress unravel before our eyes.
The solution is liberalism .
Liberalism is the only proven antidote to authoritarianism.
It champions the fundamental values of freedom, democracy, and self-determination, empowering individuals rather than the state. Societies rooted in liberal principles have consistently achieved greater prosperity, innovation, and human dignity. Unlike authoritarian ideologies that seek to control and suppress, liberalism fosters a world where individuals are free to think, speak, and pursue happiness on their own terms.
To preserve and advance these ideals, we must rally behind a bold, unapologetic liberal movement.
Liberals stand for liberty
Liberty is the cornerstone of a truly free society.
Liberals believe that individuals—not governments or elites—should have the power to make choices about their own lives. We reject state overreach, censorship, and social engineering that dictate how people should think, speak, or live. True freedom means the right to associate, to express, and to live without interference, so long as we respect the rights of others.
In an era where both left- and right-wing authoritarians seek to control personal choices, liberals stand unwavering in defense of individual liberty.
Liberals stand for free enterprise
A thriving, competitive economy is essential for human prosperity.
Liberals believe in free enterprise—an economic system where innovation and opportunity flourish, unshackled from government overreach and crony capitalism. Too often, politicians manipulate markets to benefit entrenched interests, stifling competition and restricting individual success. We fight for open markets, economic mobility, and an end to rent-seeking policies that favor the powerful at the expense of everyone else.
A free society must be built on an economy that rewards creativity, effort, and voluntary exchange.
Liberals stand for democracy
Democracy is not just a system of government—it is the embodiment of self-rule.
Liberals believe that power must reside with the people, protected by institutions that uphold fairness, transparency, and accountability. Around the world, democratic norms are being eroded by corruption, voter suppression, and populist demagogues who reject electoral legitimacy. Without democracy, freedom is an illusion, as authoritarian forces replace representation with coercion.
We fight to strengthen democratic institutions and ensure that every individual has a voice in shaping their future.
Liberals stand for cooperation
No nation thrives in isolation.
Liberals believe that free societies must work together to foster peace, trade, and human rights across borders. Authoritarian states and illiberal movements exploit division, seeking to weaken democratic alliances and dismantle global cooperation. By standing united, free nations can counter threats, defend shared values, and create opportunities for people everywhere.
Liberalism demands that we reject nationalism and embrace a world where cooperation—not coercion—drives progress.
Liberals stand for pluralism
A free society must embrace diversity, not fear it.
Liberals reject the idea that people must conform to a single ideology, culture, or identity to be part of a nation. We stand for a world where individuals are judged by their actions and character, not their race, religion, gender, or background. Authoritarians weaponize division, exploiting our differences to consolidate power and suppress opposition.
Pluralism is the foundation of a strong, vibrant, and truly liberal society.
