Americans For Prosperity Launches Forever First In Freedom Tour Across North Carolina

Yesterday, Americans For Prosperity North Carolina (AFP-NC) launched Forever First In Freedom Tour. Here’s the video outlining the tour featuring Speaker Destin Hall and Senate Leader Phil Berger

Americans for Prosperity recounted North Carolina history on how the Tar Heel state is First in Freedom.  

• “On April 12, 1776, at the meeting of the Fourth Provincial Congress, North Carolina’s assembly signed the Halifax Resolves, marking the first official step taken by a colony to sever ties from Britain. 83 delegates from North Carolina made the unanimous decision to reject tyranny in favor of freedom. Those 83 delegates would take the bold action of making North Carolina, First in Freedom.” 

The tour will go on feature policies enacted by the General Assembly since Republicans took control of the chamber in 2010.  

• North Carolina has cut taxes and reduced government spending. Since Republicans gain the majority, North Carolina has been ranked as one of the most fiscally sound states in the union. 

• North Carolina is a leader in educational freedom, since they enacted universal school choice. 

• Finally, this session, the General Assembly enacted the Reins Acts, which reduces the power of unelected bureaucrats.  

This is part of Americans For Prosperity national effort to celebrate America’s 250th birthday next year. In the coming months, Americans for Prosperity will release sit down video conversations from the tour discussing North Carolina history, freedom, and policies that promote liberty.  

In 2024, AFP-NC played a major role in North Carolina politics advocating for conservative causes, knocking over 400,000 doors, sending over 20,000 letters to state leaders, and hosting over 230 events with policy makers. In North Carolina, the group advocates for the repeal of Certificate of Needs laws that limit access to healthcare, educational freedom, an abundant energy supply, responsible fiscal management with tax cuts, and removing regulations to boost the housing supply.
