tion of what it means to be human, the world we have created, and a proposal for the new American dream. People can decide for themselves if it is foolish propaganda, a corruption of democracy, or an idealists dream laced with truth. AFWFA is a counter to the mechanics of mass media and the illusions our culture has created surrounding consumerism, happiness and our future. While we continue to work out the kinks in our vision of the twenty-first century, we leave in our trail a collection of stories, posters, art grants and ideas that form the basis of our manifesto. Below is a copy of our original statement, written in 1996.

This organization is founded by, and representative of all people who embrace individual freedom and refuse to live in a world built around work. We exist to explore and create, to love and communicate freely, to chart a future based upon liberty and discovery; not specialization and suppression. We hold the power to choose the manner in which we live, we hold the power to restructure our lives, and we hold the power to revolt against all that we do not believe in or prescribe to. AFWFA represents this power and stands to present a new vision of how we may live, in a world better suited to our individual and collective growth, health and happiness.

Through the aggressive application of our robotic and computer technologies, through the re-education of our society about the importance and function of human life, and through personal revolt- we can create a work free America. Our goal is to create a society focused on art and beauty, knowledge and pleasure, and the pursuit of freedom through expression.

Robert Blake once said, I must create my own systems or else be enslaved by other men. AFWFA rejects the current state of our social, political and economic structures, refuses to live by systems created by other men and lives by the freedom so generously placed before us. Please join us in our fight against work and our battle to reclaim the precious commodity called freetime.
