Roadmap to Freedom Civic Education Program
Roadmap to Freedom is a bilingual civic education program in English and Russian. It helps immigrants and allies understand civil rights, democratic institutions, and how to recognize propaganda early.
Our educational approach
Roadmap to Freedom uses clear definitions, real historical examples, and guided discussion to help newcomers understand how democratic societies protect rights. We translate complex civic concepts into beginner-friendly lessons in English and Russian, with practical takeaways viewers can use in everyday life.
We are nonpartisan and educational. Our purpose is civic understanding, not political advocacy.
What Is Roadmap to Freedom
Translating Ideas Into Action
Roadmap to Freedom is a bilingual media and education initiative. It translates Volitional Science and the Theory of Property into understandable lessons, stories, and practical tools.
Our content bridges abstract principles and everyday reality, making complex ideas accessible.
We focus on helping immigrants and allies see how fundamental principles of freedom apply to everyday life, law, culture, and politics—empowering them to recognize threats to liberty and defend democratic values in their communities.
Bilingual YouTube Channels
English-Language Channel
The Roadmap to Freedom English YouTube channel is an educational platform produced by Science of Freedom Foundation, featuring videos, interviews, and commentary on democratic values and civil rights, Volitional Science concepts explained in plain language, and how to recognize totalitarian tactics and protect a Golden Rule Society.
Russian-Language Videos
Our program includes key Russian-language videos that introduce the same essential ideas for Russian-speaking audiences. These videos compare life under authoritarian regimes with life in freer societies and show viewers how to defend freedoms in their new countries.

How We Work and Our Impact

Expected Outcomes
In an era of disinformation, propaganda, and rising authoritarian trends, immigrants who have experienced both unfree and free systems are uniquely positioned to defend democratic values. Our program equips them with the knowledge and confidence to do exactly that.
In the next 12 months, we aim to release 24 new educational videos, host 15 community study groups across multiple cities, and reach 50,000+ engaged viewers through our bilingual channels—building momentum toward a growing network of informed, empowered citizens.
Increased Civic Knowledge
Greater understanding and confidence among immigrant viewers in navigating democratic institutions
Propaganda Recognition
Stronger ability to identify propaganda and early warning signs of authoritarianism
Growing Community
An expanding network aligned with Golden Rule Society principles of voluntary, non-coercive cooperation
Democratic Integration
Better integration into democratic life while maintaining critical awareness of how freedoms can be lost
Beyond the Screen
Roadmap to Freedom connects to our broader work at Science of Freedom Foundation, including civic-education workshops, community networks, and media partnerships that expand on themes from our videos, creating lasting impact in communities across America.
