How YOU can fight for a free future
Thank you so much to everyone who has expressed support for the Fighting for a Free Future project: you are hugely appreciated!
Everyone who supports FFF is part of the movement for free markets and freedom - and there is plenty you can please do to help.
If we are to have any chance of shifting the terrain of debate, we must make freedom and free markets attractive again. That means all of us must speak in much more positive language about free markets and freedom and have no shame in proudly extolling their virtues.
We must keep telling the story of what liberty under law has achieved and can yet achieve for billions of people – to our friends, in debates and in conversations. Positivity is infectious and we must bring it to every debate we have about our economy and society. I know I have been guilty of speaking in technical terms about the economy and our situation without that spark of hope we can do better through freedom under law. Now is the time to bring passion back.
So here are ten priority actions you can take immediately to amplify our impact and fight for a free future.
1. Subscribe and Engage with Our Content Across All Platforms
Priority Level: Essential
Your digital engagement creates powerful proof that influences others to join our movement. Please subscribe to our podcast, follow our Substack newsletter and actively engage with our social media content through likes, shares, and meaningful comments: follow @SteveBakerFRSA on X, Instagram and more. This engagement signals that our content has value and deserves broader reach: support is real so let’s show it.
2. Share Our Content with Personal Context
Priority Level: Critical
Don’t just repost our content – please add your personal story or perspective when sharing. Research shows that content shared with personal context spreads 3-5 times further than simple reposts. When sharing our articles or podcast episodes, please include a brief explanation of why this message matters to you personally or how it relates to your experience.
3. Gift Our Merchandise Strategically
Priority Level: High
Please purchase and gift our merchandise to people in your network who would be receptive to our message. Focus on opinion leaders in your community – teachers, local business owners, community organisers or social media influencers. This creates multiple touchpoints for our message while building a visible community of supporters.

4. Create Your Own Content
Priority Level: High
Develop your own content that references or builds upon our core messages. Write blog posts, create videos or share social media content that explores themes from our project through your unique lens. Tag us when appropriate, but please focus on authentically expressing how our ideas connect to your world.
5. Host or Organise Local Discussions
Priority Level: Medium-High
Organize informal gatherings – coffee meet-ups, book clubs, or discussion groups – centred around topics we cover. These can be physical or virtual meetings where you facilitate conversations about the themes in our content. Document and share these discussions (with participants’ permission) to show the real-world impact of our ideas.
6. Leverage Your Professional Networks
Priority Level: Medium-High
Share relevant content from our project within your professional circles when appropriate. If you work in education, healthcare, business or any field where our messages are relevant, introduce colleagues to our work through the lens of professional development or industry insights.
7. Engage in Strategic Online Advocacy
Priority Level: Medium
Participate in online discussions related to our topics across platforms like Reddit, LinkedIn, X or relevant forums. Share insights from our content when appropriate, always focusing on adding value to existing conversations rather than promotional posting. Become known as someone who brings thoughtful perspectives to these discussions.
Consistent, valuable contributions to online communities build authority and trust over time, making your recommendations more influential.
8. Use Your Personal Contacts
Priority Level: Medium
Contact your friends, family and colleagues who might be interested in our content. Perhaps send periodic updates highlighting our most impactful pieces, but always with your personal commentary on why they matter. This creates a personal distribution network that extends our reach authentically.
9. Support and Amplify Other Aligned Voices
Priority Level: Medium
Identify other creators, authors, or activists whose work complements ours and actively support their content as well. Create connections between different voices in the movement, introducing your networks to multiple perspectives that reinforce our core messages.
10. Practice and Model the Changes We Advocate
Priority Level: Essential Long-term
Most importantly, embody the changes we promote in your daily life and make your transformation visible to others in your community. Share your journey or transformation, challenges and successes as you implement our ideas. This authentic modelling is more powerful than any promotional effort.
Implementation Strategy
Please start with actions 1-3: these require the least time investment but provide the highest immediate impact. Once these become routine, gradually incorporate the other strategies based on your interests, skills and available time.
Please remember: consistency matters more than perfection. Regular, smaller actions will have more cumulative impact than sporadic large efforts. The goal is to create sustainable habits that amplify our message organically through your existing networks and relationships.
Your individual actions, multiplied across all our supporters, create the distributed network effect that makes movements powerful and sustainable.
And finally
Thank you for being part of this crucial work. Together, we are Fighting For A Free Future. That really counts.
