For years, the Wisconsin Faith & Freedom Coalition and our sister organization, Freedom and Family Action has highlighted a critical vulnerability in how online political fundraising is regulated. Wisconsin has taken a historic step to fix that gap.

Freedom and Family Action

Freedom and Family Action is a 501(c)(4) advancing conservative policy, protecting our elections from threats like foreign donations, and building permanent, year-round grassroots power.

Many conservatives, inspired by the successes of the Wisconsin Faith & Freedom Coalition’s first-year effort to put 402,000 Trump vs. Harris comparison pieces in the hands of voters, wanted to build on that effort – but asked to undertake activities that went beyond the scope of that organization. Freedom and Family Action was created so those conservatives would have an organization that could undertake the two main activities that went beyond the scope of that Wisconsin-based 501(c)(3). Our purpose is simple:

  1. Advance model legislation—LOBBYING for legislation, starting with stopping foreign donations from entering the U.S. political system through unverified gift-card transactions.
  2. Engage in political activity that a 501(c)(3) cannot—mobilizing conservatives beyond just registering them to vote and getting them to the polls by training volunteers, and building permanent ground-level power nationwide.

LEGISLATIVE MISSION

Months after launching, Freedom and Family Action secured a major legislative victory: Wisconsin became the first state in America to pass model language (AB 385) to stop foreign money from entering our elections through unverified online contributions.

Using that victory, we have created a turn-key process any state legislator, congressional office, candidate, or policy advocate can use to introduce and advance the same protections in their state.

Opponents often claim CVV verification would block Americans living overseas from donating.

 This is false.

POLITICAL MISSION

The Strategy Conservatives Forgot to Fund

Freedom and Family Action fills the gap that campaigns leave behind.

Campaigns end.
 Consultants leave.
 The left keeps organizing.
 We do too.

Born in one of America’s toughest battleground states, our approach is different:

  • 402,000 voter comparisons in churches and on doorsteps indirectly resulted in a surge in turnout among faith-based conservatives, which indirectly resulted in a 20,000-vote loss becoming a 29,000-vote conservative win.

     

  • We train volunteers, organize communities, and operate year-round.

     

  • We build infrastructure, not momentary excitement.

     

  • We remain on the ground the day after the election, when others disappear.

This isn’t just grassroots.
 It’s generational.

Our mission:
 Shift the balance of power back to families, faith communities, and constitutional conservatives—not with ads, but with permanent organization.
