Americans for Free Markets (AFFM) is a coalition of groups focused on advancing sensible, pro-growth policies that ensure the U.S. economy remains strong, dynamic, and free from unnecessary government overreach. We recognize that a system free from 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.

Our Core Principles

Supporting Competition

Competition promotes economic growth and supports small businesses. We advocate for the modernization of outdated laws and regulations that put American businesses, workers, and consumers at a disadvantage.

Protecting Taxpayers

We all benefit when state and local governments get the lowest competitive rate to finance projects, 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 decisions themselves, in accordance with these principles, rather than allowing politically-motivated politicians to arbitrarily pick winners and losers.

Preventing Government 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.

Promoting Clear Business and Market Rules

To keep our financial system strong and our economy growing for all Americans, federal lawmakers and regulators should provide clear, consistent laws that give consumers more transparency into the financial system.

Our Mission

AFFM advocates 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.
