From City Halls to the White House, the government targets groups and individuals based on their political or ideological views. This is weaponized government for political gain—and it’s a very real, very dangerous threat to democracy. AFPI is fighting back – holding those in power accountable, developing justice and national-security reforms, and preparing for a new, America First administration to end this unfair, un-American two-tiered justice system. Working together, we’ll restore America’s rule of law.
Hold Those in Power Accountable
We drive attention, action and accountability through investigations, calls for oversight authorities, media, messaging, and expert briefings. And the work won’t just be in Washington: AFPI is combating rogue, progressive prosecutors and providing solutions for state leaders.
Justice and National Security Reform
We give legislators ready-to-use tools to stop the abuse of national security intelligence for political purposes. And we’ll advance reforms to ensure the FBI no longer pursues biased, politicized investigations or prosecutions.
Prepare for an America First Administration
Our 2025 roadmap includes detailed policy, personnel, and administrative agendas for every agency in an incoming America First administration—a committed rapid-action force to immediately regain control of the Department of Justice, the FBI and a politicized federal bureaucracy.
