Welcome to the launch of 1776 Forward! In this introductory episode, co-founders Chris and Joia explore 10 themes that describe what this new grassroots movement is all about.

The 10 themes:

1.) Each American is unique – a free society values autonomy and community

2.) What all American share: a set of values / “America” as an ideal

3.) What is Philosophical Liberalism?

4.) Liberalism is an ongoing project – change is built into the system

5.) Freedom to think: reason, science, enlightenment values, and the marketplace of Ideas

6.) Freedom to act: the creator-trader network

7.) The need for a government that protects individual rights

8.) The need for individuals to insist on their rights – especially now

9.) 3 ways to stand up and speak out (stop the bad, keep the good, build the better)

10.) A noble inspiration – philosophical liberalism and the moral high ground
