Freedom

Waldo County, Maine • Anti-Federalist Party

The founders intended for power to reside here — in the municipalities of Freedom, not in distant capitals. This is where the work happens.

Our Mission in Freedom

We believe that the most effective governance happens closest to the people. The Freedom chapter works to ensure every resident has direct access to their municipal government, meaningful agency over their future, and the ability to hold all power — public, corporate, and algorithmic — accountable.

Strategic Priorities

Community Broadband

Establish public broadband infrastructure as a utility, ensuring universal internet access regardless of income.
