About Us
Founded by Randolph M. Baggett—known to his friends as "Randy"—Freedom Force Florida draws strength from his decades-long fight for justice reform. Although incarcerated, Randy's vision and commitment fuel FFF's mission. His 40 years of firsthand experience in the system, coupled with his education in business management and exceptional legal research skills, have positioned him as a creative and effective advocate for change.
Randy emphasizes the importance of servant leadership, inspiring others to rise as leaders themselves. "When I’m gone, I want my dream to live on," he says. To ensure this, FFF, in collaboration with New Life Academy, will offer leadership training through the Global Leadership Summit to empower local chapter presidents.

United for Change
Mercy4Children.org represents our first major initiative: bringing together the resources, stories, and supporters of Florida's parole-eligible juvenile offenders. While individual voices might be quieted, our united call for justice cannot be ignored. Your voice may be the one that makes the difference!
Join Our Fight for Justice
Your support isn't just appreciated – it's essential. Without public pressure for change, 175 people sentenced as children will likely die in prison. Together, we can prevent this injustice. Please join us as an Associate today!
