To help the people and organizations that are involved in the Freedom movement, the Freedom21 Federal Credit Union was created in 2006. Only members of Freedom21 can participate in the credit union. But because the Alliance for Citizens Rights is a member of Freedom21, and has opened an "Endowment Account" with the Freedom21 Federal Credit Union, the members of the Alliance for Citizens Rights are eligible to join Freedom21 and the credit union. Moreover, one-third of the membership fee is deposited into the Endowment Account of the Alliance for Citizens Rights.
This is the first and only credit union ever created expressly for people who are involved in the freedom movement. The credit union is a not-for-profit organization, owned by the depositors. Every penny of profit must be returned to the members. And Freedom21 actively works to promote funding for the Endowment Account of its member organizations.
Organizations that participate in the Freedom21 movement work together, to share information and assist with legislative initiatives at the local, state, and federal levels. EdWatch.org in Minnesota, is the point of the spear in matters related to education. Their work informs all Freedom21 organizations, and all Freedom21 organizations respond when a legislative initiative needs action,
Freedom Advocates specializes in sustainable development policies and provides educational materials for other Freedom21 organizations as well as for elected officials.
Take Back Kentucky has developed an extremely effective state-wide organization that has sweeping influence in the state legislature. Their organization plan has been an example followed by several other states that have seen similar results in their legislatures.
The American Policy Center is one of the federal watchdogs, keeping all the organizations informed about activities in Washington that need a coordinated response.
These are but a few of the hundreds of organizations working to "advance the principles of freedom in the 21st century." In several communities, their work has already brought reversal of policies that deny property rights, and blocked government's plans to manage local markets.
Freedom21 does not have the power of government behind it, as does Agenda 21. It does, however, have the power of people who are devoted to the principles of freedom. These are the people who have always defended freedom, despite government's tireless efforts to destroy it. These are the people who won't let freedom die.
