Patriot,

My beloved professor, George Ayittey, characterized the fight for Africa’s
future as a fight between Hippos and Cheetahs.

But what does this mean?

Hippos are complacent, greedy bureaucrats wallowing in the muck.
Cheetahs are fast-moving, entrepreneurial leaders and citizens.

Hippos wait for politicians to empower them.
Cheetahs take their futures into their own hands.

Hippos lazily complain about colonialism yet do nothing to change the status
quo.
Cheetahs seek to shift the prevailing narrative — no more victimhood or
dependency.


Like my professor, I believe Africa's hopes rest on the “Cheetah Generation” —
the dynamic young entrepreneurs who will usher in an economic renaissance.

The evidence is clear that entrepreneurship, combined with clear and
transferable property rights, the rule of law, and economic freedom, is crucial
to the creation of prosperity anywhere.

That’s why I’ve partnered with Atlas Network.

Atlas Network is the world's leading organization promoting economic freedom
in developing nations. They have an amazing network of human beings and partner
organizations and a deep body of research that demonstrates an understanding of
the prerequisites for prosperity on a global scale.

You can support Atlas Network’s efforts to promote economic freedom and to
build the capacity for reforms that lead to broad-based prosperity worldwide.

The combination of negative perceptions of Africans, combined with widespread
ignorance regarding the need for economic freedom, is a toxic combination.

Perhaps the most unique challenge we face is that the world has come to
perceive that Africans themselves are not capable of creating prosperity — and
require charity in order to survive.

This simply isn’t true.

I believe Africa's future will be defined not by its painful history but by
the boundless potential of its people.

Like the swift cheetahs, the people here are aggressive in pursuing
opportunities and laser-focused on the results of“catching their prey.”

We are showcasing African solutions to African problems. We’re leveraging
technology to create jobs and build globally competitive brands. And we’re
applying our energy to unlocking the continent's vast wealth and human capital.

Helping Cheetahs improve the climate for free enterprise requires an equally
swift response.

With 51 active organizational partners in Africa, Atlas Network is
well-positioned to engage local civil society groups that are working to solve
complex issues with home-grown solutions that address local needs.

Please donate $10, $50, $100, $250, or any amount you can to support Atlas
Network and strengthen the worldwide freedom movement today.

Atlas Network’s proven strategy of supporting local partners has already led
to remarkable successes in expanding human freedom across the world.

From Argentina to Syria and India to Korea, Atlas Network partners are
achieving reforms that remove barriers to opportunity and prosperity that
previously held people back from improving their lives and bettering their
communities.

When millions of creative minds unite toward a common vision of prosperity, no
challenge is insurmountable!

By donating to Atlas Network, you are helping create a free, prosperous, and
peaceful world where the principles of individual liberty, property rights,
limited government, and free markets are secured by the rule of law.

Plus, when you donate to Atlas Network, you’ll get their Freedom’s Champion
magazine, to keep you up to date on the latest news from around the world about
people fighting for freedom.

The Cheetah Generation is the future — I invite you to join us.
