The Advocates for Self-Government

The Advocates for Self-Government We are a community that champions the values of self-government, including voluntary association...

Who we are:

We're a 501(c)3 nonprofit that with two main initiatives:

What we do:

ASG.Stream is a donor-supported streaming platform for films that celebrate human freedom. We also create surveys and quizzes that help people discover their political identity for educational purposes. We're most known for The World's Smallest Political Quiz, taken by over 20 million people worldwide. Our VISION

is:

A world of self-governing people living in a condition of happiness, harmony and prosperity. Those who advocate for self-government reject the initiation of force as a means of solving social problems. Instead, we promote a social and political philosophy that promises greater public safety, smarter regulation, and more compassionate welfare. That political philosophy replaces coercion with persuasion and violent state power with systems of free association. Everything we do is driven by our MISSION:

To equip people to understand, embrace, and advocate the values of self-government.
