The Manifesto Club campaigns against the hyperregulation of everyday life. We support free movement across borders, free expression and free association. We challenge booze bans, photo bans, vetting and speech codes - all new ways in which the state regulates everyday life on the streets, in workplaces and in our private lives.

We believe that the freedom issues of the twenty-first century cut across old political boundaries, and require new schools of political thought, and new methods of campaigning and organisation.

There is much to celebrate about the contemporary world, but there is also an urgent need to work out how we can take that world forward. Any attempt to transform our society towards a freer, more enlightened future, must begin from the conviction that people have a tremendous capacity to organise their own lives, both individually and collectively. That is why at the Manifesto Club we campaign, write, petition and argue for freedom in everyday life.

Our rapidly growing membership is composed of free thinkers and free spirits, from all political traditions and none, and from all corners of the world. Their support is essential to us. Members contribute financially to enable us to organise events and campaigns, and to release publications. But our membership is also essential to the intellectual, political and organisational work of the club.

The club is coordinated by a Steering Committee based in London.
