WHAT IS CATCHING FIRE NEWS?

The purpose of Catching Fire News is to present truth and provide knowledge rarely available from other sources, combined with an agenda to help local activists organize and take back their own communities.

Catching Fire News is the place where we share strategies and tactics for fighting and winning in your local community whether it’s the city council, school board, county commission or state legislature. The focus is on government overreach, attacks on property rights, private business, and personal liberty.

Catching Fire News will become your most reliable source for the real news and – most importantly – your source for renewal of hope and reports of victories from the front lines, as local activists succeed in setting those brushfires of freedom.
