Mission
Coalition for liberty, inc. (coalition) was formed to promote freedom of speech, advance education, and to promote parental involvement in primary and secondary education. The coalition believes that freedom of speech is vital to giving students a sound basic education. Educators and speakers in academic settings must be given the freedom to express differing viewpoints in order to simulate debate and creative thought. In addition, teachers should seek to provide students with a rich assortment of viewpoints and ideas to provoke thought and respect for the opinion of others. The coalition will fund programs and organizations dedicated to protecting free speech and publicly outline actions by faculty groups, school administrators and school boards that both inhibit and promote free speech. It will oppose and highlight the dangers of cancel culture, which seeks to quiet differing opinions.

The second program service within our nonprofit is supporting grassroots organizations,where we created two online searchable directories of nonprofit organizations that list what each organization's main focus is and what they offer, and we are attempting to match those who have resources with those who need them. The two directories are the liberty directory, which focuses on traditional nonprofit grassroots groups, think tanks, donors, media organizations, groups that provide services and support to nonprofits, legally oriented nonprofit groups, and attorneys who will provide discounted or pro bono services to nonprofits. The second directory is the alliance directory, which is dedicated to creating a network of organizations to fight antisemitism. The purpose of both directory's is to foster collaboration and help those with resources connect with those who have them. By understanding the missions and objectives of these groups, we are able to match them up with each other for networking and support. We have also attended events where individual organizations are present to assist them with protecting their members' rights to free speech, raising money, or collaborating with others, obtaining training, resources, and other support for their groups, or assisting them with starting schools or enhancing educational opportunities for children. In 2024 we attended events such as the state policy network and moms for liberty national meeting, helped with the costs of attendance for mfl chapter chairs, and attended the salt and light event . We created an online relational database of organizations that provide funding, training, and support for grassroots organizations and individuals with the purpose of trying to get support from those who have it with those who need it. We did the same for the alliance directory that unites jews and christians in a fight against antisemitism.
Our third program service area is assisting with improving the educational opportunities for children where we have created partnerships with investment banks that will help schools obtain funding and learned how to help rural schools take advantage of the usda funding programs for low cost funding for school building or land purchases for expanding school facilities. We have referred schools over to these groups and helped them with the messaging to obtain support and donations. In 2024, we assisted with improving the educational opportunities for children. We have referred a number of schools to investment banks and the usda for funding options. We are working with legislators to create new legislation to protect children from harassment, intimidation, or expulsion for improper reasons. We are developing plans to help schools amend their bylaws, enrollment agreements, and employment agreements to comport with the goals of the school. We are working on helping to develop new accreditation bodies to improve choices for schools and improve outcomes for children in existing accreditation organizations.
