PHILADELPHIA, PA – On Thursday, January 29, Americans for Prosperity (AFP), The LIBRE Initiative, and Concerned Veterans for America (CVA) will host a marquee event at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia to kick off a year-long celebration of America’s 250th anniversary.
Daniel Garza, president and founder of The LIBRE Initiative, will address attendees, which will include well over 100 plus Latino attendees.
This event is part of AFP’s “One Small Step” initiative, an effort to build a long-term national movement that reconnects Americans with the principles that make America so exceptional: liberty, dignity, and opportunity.
The event will also feature a live recording of the “RUTHLESS” politics podcast with Pennsylvania Treasurer Stacy Garrity and FOX News political analyst Guy Benson. Panelists will discuss how stewardship of public trust and taxpayer dollars is the kind of responsibility that comes with freedom and how big government policies across the country contrast against the values held by the founders when they signed the Declaration of Independence, just steps away from this event stage.
Press are invited to attend. RSVP by emailing iortega@standtogether.org
