The last year in American politics has been unprecedented. Donald Trump’s return to the White House in January has ushered in a new era of American greatness. With sweeping reforms in government, tough enforcement of immigration laws, and aggressive tariff policies, President Trump has wasted little time getting our country back on track.
But many old challenges remain, and new ones are emerging. The war between Russia and Ukraine continues, as does the conflict between Israel and Hamas, creating global uncertainty. China remains an ever-present threat to American superiority. Meanwhile, as its power diminishes, the American left continues to lash out, often through violence, as we saw with the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
For many, there is a temptation to become complacent in our fight for freedom. But now is the time to renew our efforts to stand for the American values that we so deeply cherish — faith, family, and freedom.
Conservatives from across the Midwest will gather on November 8, 2025, at Freedom Summit 2025 to hear from conservative voices who are standing firm for freedom against so many challenges. This day-long gathering will include speakers, break-out sessions, and book signings. The freedom agenda for America’s future will be set at Freedom Summit 2025.
