Agenda 2030 has 17 goals, some of which may seem innocent on the surface but which, once implemented, will erode liberty, said Tom DeWeese of the American Policy Center. For example, the first goal is to end poverty everywhere.

“The only answer the plan offers for eliminating poverty is redistribution of wealth,” DeWeese wrote at AmericanPolicy.org. “The document calls for ‘equal rights to economic resources.’ That means government is claiming an absolute power to take away anything that belongs to you to give to whomever it deems more deserving.”

Another goal is to “make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.”

“This is Smart Growth which promises a utopia of families and neighbors playing and working together, riding bikes, walking to work in stress free communities,” DeWeese wrote. “It really means the end of private property rights, single family homes, and stack and pack high rises where residents are over taxed, over regulated, rents are high and individual thoughts and actions are viewed as a threat to the “well-ordered society.”
