Freedom First was an underground American resistance group that opposed the Chimera and the United States government under President Noah Grace. They first appeared in Resistance: The Gathering Storm.
History[]
The Freedom First movement apparently formed after the Chimera invaded the United States on August 14, 1951. The movement mainly operated inside Gray territory, and has met with some success in their war against the Chimera, to the point of forcing the Chimera to heavily fortify their positions. Freedom First was also dedicated to the violent removal of President Noah Grace from office, in which Grace condemned the movement as being a greater menace than the Chimera.[1]
In mid-December 1951, Freedom First attempted to assassinate Grace in Denver but was foiled by Sentinel Nathan Hale. Ironically, however, Hale would later kill Grace for his attempt to bargain with Daedalus.[1]
After the Liberty Defense Perimeter fell, Freedom First's base in Montana was destroyed. However, several Freedom First cells survived the Chimeran onslaught.[2]

- Freedom First is very similar to another anti-Noah Grace organization, the Alliance for American Autonomy. Though not outright stated in the novel, it seems that Freedom First is a successor of the AAA after the latter was hunted down by the Grace Administration.
