In an attempt to better share our current activities with our network, SFL is beginning an SFL Around the World blog post series. At the beginning of each month, each region will post an update to their regional blog page to share their current activities. Please stay tuned for more updates next month!
February was action packed with North American SFLers making a serious impact!
North American Executive Board member Kayla Garthus won the Atlas Network’s $1500 student impact award for pitching her activism idea of a “This Is Socialism wall”. Kayla’s campaign will highlight what life is really like when it is controlled by an all powerful government. Well done Kayla!
Students For Liberty Campus Coordinator Conor Fogarty was interviewed by The Post in Athens regarding conceal carry and gun rights in Ohio. You can check out the full interview here!
SFL’s North American leaders were also recognized in February for their outstanding commitment to liberty and freedom. Campus Coordinator Cory Massimino was nominated for Student of the Year, and SFLers Angel Lauver, Brandon Clements, Kevin Suarez and Sam Dunkovich were all given honorable mentions. On the group side of activism, Students for Individual Liberty at the University of Virginia and Eagles for Liberty at Florida Gulf Coast were nominated for group of the year.
At Troy University, Executive Board member Jeremiah Baky was interviewed by his school newspaper on the topic of voting in the upcoming election. Not only that, Jeremiah hosted a mock “black market bake sale” to highlight the horrific consequences of the war on drugs.
