Political and economic repression often go hand in hand.
When governments silence independent voices, seize assets & punish businesses, both democracy and prosperity suffer.

Behind every political prisoner is a human story—a family separated, a voice silenced, a courageous life interrupted.
On Friday, 10/30, we will gather at the Lincoln Memorial to speak their names, honor their courage, and stand with those fighting for their freedom.
Join us at 5 PM.

📽️What does economic freedom mean in everyday life?
It’s about having the freedom to work, start a business, invest, and compete—within clear, predictable, and fair rules.
At CIPE, we support economic freedom, open markets, and a strong private sector through our global work, helping strengthen economic opportunities that also benefit the United States.
