Americans for Free Markets (AFFM) is a coalition of groups in support of free markets and economic growth. AFFM recognizes that a strong banking and financial system, free from harmful governmental interference and political motives, is the backbone of a robust free market and a prosperous, thriving economy; critical to our national security; and instrumental in advancing American competitiveness around the world. We advocate for policies that empower businesses to make decisions in the best interest of their customers and shareholders without fear of government micromanagement or retribution.

Supporting Competition

Competition promotes economic growth and supports businesses. We advocate for sensible policies to lower burdens on taxpayers.

Protecting Taxpayers

We all benefit when state and local governments get the lowest competitive rate to finance projects and there are not unnecessary burdens on the financial sector, paving the way for critical community investments in projects such as schools and roads.

Championing Capitalism

Lawmakers and regulators should loosen their grasp on taxpayers’ choices and let consumers make their decisions themselves, in accordance with these principles, rather than allowing politically-motivated politicians to make those choices for them.

Preventing Overreach

When the government is given leeway to meddle with free market dynamics and micromanage businesses, hardworking families and job creators pay the price. These interventionist policies also set a dangerous precedent and are difficult to reverse.

We’re a growing coalition of businesses and community groups in support of free markets and economic growth. Our mission is clear: to advocate for policies that empower businesses to make decisions in the best interests of their customers and shareholders without fear of government micromanagement or retribution, and oppose policies that restrict competition, increase costs, and weaponize government against business to score political points.
