Letter from our CEO

You are probably looking at this report because you are concerned about today’s campuses, right? The thwarting of free speech and the promotion of socialist ideas are all the rage. Many parents I talk to are afraid to send their children to college -- even Ivy League schools -- because of the progressive echo-chamber at so many universities. What do we do about that? There are certainly voices that push back against the anti-free speech crowd. However, their tactics are often the same as the ones as the people they oppose. They ridicule, they yell, they provoke. Is this how you change anyone’s mind? I don’t think so! And luckily there is another way: Students For Liberty represents an alternative approach with a track record of success over the past ten years! We value free speech, and the Second Amendment. We believe in free-market economics and capitalism. Liberty is our guiding principle — both here in the USA, and around the globe. That in itself does not make us unique. What makes us unique is our focus on communication skills, on academic knowledge, on thorough training, and on student-led activism. You can think of SFL as an incubator for kind, knowledgeable, and dedicated pro-liberty students. The best Boy or Girl Scout groups are led by the boys and girls themselves. The same is true for the best student pro-liberty activism. One cannot spread the beautiful ideas of liberty by yelling. We need to inspire, encourage, and listen. Our students do this every day. They build bridges and they are at the very heart of all of our programs. Almost all of our events, trainings, and activities are executed by our student leaders: From protests against government debt, to art exhibits, to free speech summits. This focus on excellence, on empowering students, and on communicating the ideas of liberty effectively makes SFL unlike any other organization on earth. I certainly hope that you find interest in what we do. SFL reaches tens of thousands of students with the message of liberty by developing leaders through training and praxis. We would love to have you support our efforts and meet our leaders!

Sincerely & For Liberty,
Dr. Wolf von Laer, CEO
