Empowering State Sovereignty and Decentralizing Federal Power

PRIORITIES

The American States Rights Forum (ASRF) champions state sovereignty, local control, and individual liberty as essential principles for a healthy and responsive democracy. In an era of increasing centralization, ASRF provides the resources, strategies, and support to help state and county governments reclaim and expand their authority, aligning governance with the unique needs of each community.  

 

Our mission is grounded in the U.S. Constitution, which envisions a balance of power between the federal government and the states. Over time, however, power has shifted toward Washington, D.C., limiting states’ abilities to serve their citizens effectively. Restoring this balance is vital to maintaining freedom, checks and balances, and effective governance that responds to the people. 

By educating and mobilizing communities, American States Rights Forum (ASRF) works to fortify local governance, and policy proposals, promote peaceful, constitutional advocacy, and build resilient networks that uphold freedom and constitutional principles.

 

We invite Americans from all walks of life to join us in our commitment to protecting rights, preserving freedoms, and supporting self-governance at every level of society.

01

Resilience

In a time when federal overreach threatens the autonomy of our states, the American State Rights Forum was created to defend the rights granted to each state under the Constitution. Resilience means strengthening our states and communities to withstand pressures from centralized power, ensuring that our rights remain secure in times of uncertainty.

CORE GOALS: Decentralizing Federal Power: Our objective is to return decision-making to states in areas where they can better serve their communities, such as healthcare, education, law enforcement, and local economics. Creating a Coalition of States: "ASRF will act as a consortium for states to collaborate on policies, share resources, and coordinate efforts to build resilient, self-sufficient governance structures without undue federal influence.

02

Empowerment

We aim to empower citizens by providing tools, resources, and support to engage with local governance effectively. Through education, action, and advocacy, we strive to enable individuals to participate fully in the political process, influence change within their communities, and protect their rights on issues affecting their everyday lives.

NETWORK FOR SOVEREIGNTY AND COMMUNITY ASRF as a Consortium The American States Rights Forum serves as a coalition that unites state representatives, organizations, and groups with a shared commitment to state sovereignty and decentralization. Acting as a platform for direct communication, resource-sharing, and collaboration, ASRF brings together both states and like-minded organizations to coordinate efforts, share best practices, and address critical issues such as regional infrastructure, economic policy, and education—without relying on federal oversight. A Meeting Place for States and Allies ASRF is more than a forum for states; it’s a meeting place where groups like the Tenth Amendment Center and other advocates of state rights and independence converge. Here, states and individuals can learn about established groups and initiatives already working to promote local governance and individual freedoms. This consortium enables participants to join forces with an existing organization or become active in initiatives that align with their values, helping to build a powerful, coordinated network for change. Integrating Community and Religious Organizations Faith-based and community organizations have long been pillars of American society, fostering civic engagement, charitable giving, and resilience. ASRF partners with these institutions, encouraging collaboration with state governments to reinforce the unique values that define each state’s identity. Through community partnerships, ASRF helps to empower local leadership, strengthen community bonds, and ensure that states remain responsive to the needs of their citizens.

Unity

Unity is our foundation for strength. The American State Rights Forum unites citizens, leaders, and organizations from across the nation to stand together for state rights and individual freedoms. By forming a coalition of like-minded states, communities, and allied organizations, ASRF cultivates a powerful network capable of challenging federal overreach and ensuring that every voice is heard in the pursuit of liberty.

BUILDING STATE SOVEREIGNTY Through this unity, we empower states to address key areas independently—such as healthcare, education, law enforcement, and local economic policy—without the constraints of centralized federal control. ASRF serves as a bridge between state representatives and allied organizations, fostering resource-sharing, policy development, and direct communication, which fortifies each state’s ability to govern in alignment with its citizens’ needs and values. Supporting State-Led Law Enforcement and Financial Independence Unity also means creating a collaborative environment where states can implement initiatives that secure their sovereignty, including state-led law enforcement and increased financial independence from federal control. Together, we work toward solutions that allow states to regulate their own resources, oversee local law enforcement, and minimize dependency on federal funds—all critical steps in building resilient, self-sufficient states that uphold the principles of the U.S. Constitution. A Network of Partners and Initiatives ASRF is a meeting place where states and like-minded organizations, such as those advocating for the Tenth Amendment, come together to collaborate, share best practices, and initiate meaningful change. Our network provides a platform for leaders and citizens to connect with established groups, engage with ongoing initiatives, and explore ways to get involved locally or at the state level. In unity, we amplify our collective strength and take strategic action to preserve the liberties that define our republic.
