The Freedom Charter is the document stating the core principles of the members of the South African Congress Alliance, which included the African National Congress (ANC), the South African Indian Congress, and the Colored People's Congress. The Freedom Charter presents the foundation for subsequent ANC policy, underscoring the demands for human and political rights, a post-apartheid society, and ideals such as distributive justice and wealth through ensuring adequate housing, education, and public health care for all.
