The Advocates for Self-Government.
Helping YOU create a free world!

The Advocates for Self-Government is a non-profit, non-partisan libertarian educational organization founded in 1985.

Our mission

To bring about a free society by empowering those who love liberty to become highly successful at taking the ideas of liberty to the world.

We accomplish our mission by:

  • Presenting libertarian ideas to large numbers of people in an honest, persuasive manner, thus discovering and creating new libertarians;
  • Empowering libertarians to become effective and successful communicators of libertarian ideas; and
  • Working to change the dominant political "map" from the old, inaccurate "left-right" model -- which excludes libertarians -- to a more accurate and inclusive map such as the one used by our World's Smallest Political Quiz, thus literally putting libertarians "on the map" that people use when discussing politics.

This is unique and vital work. We reach millions of people directly and indirectly, and our services are essential to thousands of hardworking liberty activists.

Our Core Beliefs

  • We hold high the ideals of individual liberty, self-responsibility, free markets, limited government, and peace.
  • We believe that libertarianism is --both morally and practically --the best political philosophy.
  • We believe that the more individual liberty there is, the better off everyone is.
  • We believe everything we do as an organization should contribute to the building of a free society.
  • We believe that effective communication skills and respectful relationships are necessary to create a free society.

A Three-Step Strategy for Libertarian Victory

The Advocates for Self-Government's focus is unique. Libertarians in many different organizations use our products, programs and services to make their own outreach and educational efforts far more effective. Individual liberty activists use our products programs and teachings to successfully take the ideas of liberty to their families, friends, associates and communities.

And while Advocates programs, products and tools -- described just below -- work wonderfully by themselves, our key programs are designed to work together, synergistically, to have a cumulative impact far more powerful than they could possibly have alone -- as parts of the Advocates strategy to change the world for liberty.

It's a three-step strategy:

STEP 1: We discover large numbers of libertarian-leaning people, through our own activities and by showing grassroots local activists how to use highly effective Advocates outreach tools. We furnish these new libertarian prospects with the information they need to evaluate, understand and embrace libertarianism.

STEP 2: We provide these new libertarians with the tools, education and encouragement they need to become effective advocates for liberty, involved in the libertarian cause.

STEP 3: Now they are able, in turn, to go find more libertarian-leaning folks themselves  -- thus keeping the cycle of progress moving forward, with ever-increasing numbers!

In this way, the Advocates is daily building a bigger, stronger, and far more effective libertarian movement -- and this benefits every libertarian organization in the world.
