About Frank
Frank Gaffney is the President of the Institute for the American Future, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to assuring the security and well-being of our constitutional Republic and her people now and in the future.
The Institute seeks to accomplish that mission by: providing early warning about emerging threats; identifying effective ways of countering them; and working in partnership with other, like-minded patriots to maximize the impact of those efforts.
In addition, Mr. Gaffney is the host of “Securing America,” a daily program on the Real America’s Voice network and podcast; the driving force behind SecuringAmerica.Substack.com; the author of a weekday audio and video commentary, the “Secure Freedom Minute;” the Vice Chairman of the Committee on the Present Danger: China (CPDC); the co-founder of the Sovereignty Coalition (SovCo); co-founder of the Save America’s Military coalition; and President & CEO of Save the Persecuted Christians (STPC).
In 1987, Frank Gaffney was tapped by President Ronald Reagan at the age of 34 to become the Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Policy after his four years as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear Forces and Arms Control Policy. He went on to found and lead for thirty-four years the Center for Security Policy to champion the practice of what the Gipper called “peace through strength” through a high-impact/low overhead model Mr. Gaffney dubbed “the Special Forces in the War of Ideas.”
Following his years of public service, Mr. Gaffney has used every available vehicle and platform to enhance the national security of the United States. These have included: earned media; his own TV/podcast program; over two dozen books he published through the Center for Security Policy Press and the most recent one he authored: The Indictment: Prosecuting the Chinese Communist Party and Friends for Crimes Against America, China and the World; myriad coalitions; and Twitter/X (including numerous X Spaces), Substack and other social media platforms.
