2025 Was A Year of Liberty in Action

December 29, 2025

If there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s that woke activists, leftist leaders, and entrenched bureaucrats will stop at nothing to maintain their iron grip on government. That’s why the Goldwater Institute is fighting in state courts, legislatures, and communities nationwide to advance, defend, and strengthen the freedom guaranteed by the constitutions of the United States and the fifty states. And we’re winning.

In our newly released 2025 Liberty in Action Annual Report, we look back at our year of victories as we chart our course for 2026. You can view the full report below or download it here.

In 2025, the Goldwater Institute achieved victories for freedom across the country. We enacted nearly 50 laws, including measures to root out DEI from public universities, to protect individuals’ right to try cutting-edge treatments, and to ensure hard working Americans are free to practice their professions without first begging the government for permission.

Goldwater scholars worked with K-12 schools and universities to restore the teaching of America’s founding principles. Our attorneys are engaged in 40 active lawsuits and have defended parents’ rights, stood up for the freedom of speech, upheld the right to bear arms, and fought government overreach.

Every single day, with your generous support, the Goldwater Institute is fighting to empower all Americans to live freer, happier lives, so that we can remain the Land of the Free, and the Home of the Brave.

We are grateful for your support of the Goldwater Institute’s efforts to advance and defend liberty throughout the United States. For over 36 years, we’ve been defending the rights of Americans to live their lives free from government interference.

And Goldwater is unique in that we direct our efforts to the 50 states where we introduce and advance innovative ideas that expand freedom. And we fight in courtrooms and capitals nationwide to defend individual liberty.

In 2024 alone, we scored over 50 policy and litigation victories defending liberty!

And that’s just the beginning.

Our plans for 2025 include:

  • Stopping pernicious DEI and other woke programs in America’s universities.
  • Ensuring that patients suffering from rare and terminal diseases have access to cutting-edge, lifesaving medical treatments, without having to first seek permission from the government.
  • Defending parental rights across the United States so that parents can send their kids to the school that best fits their needs, free from leftist indoctrination.
  • Eliminating government interference in the fundamental right of individuals to own property and use it as they see fit.
  • And much, much more

We seek to restore the presumption of liberty; that people are free to act without first asking permission from the government.

But we cannot do this without you. Will you join us as we fight to preserve and advance liberty throughout the country? As we seek new and innovative ways to defend freedom in all 50 states?
