FreedomFest 2025

Join us for a thought-provoking debate on a key question in foreign policy: "In order to preserve freedom at home, America must make an effort to export it abroad." Scott Horton, a staunch advocate for non-interventionism and author of Fool’s Errand, will argue that America should refrain from intervention abroad to protect its freedoms at home. Countering him, Wang Dan, the Chinese pro-democracy activist and leader of the Tiananmen Square protests, will defend the notion that the U.S. has a moral obligation to promote liberty across the globe, especially in authoritarian regimes. This debate will examine the balance between defending American freedoms and the global responsibility to spread democracy, offering powerful perspectives on America’s role in the world. Don’t miss this lively and insightful discussion on the future of freedom, both at home and abroad.
