EsLibertad: December 2016 & January 2017 Update

Events in the Region — Mexico

Mexico has been working very hard these months and that effort is giving incredible results. The Students For Liberty Mexico team embarked on a series of leadership forums in a number of states, called “The Route of Liberty.” So far they have had two liberty forums that had good turn out and people have come out very satisfied from the experience.

In addition, they launched the campaign #SolidarityisFreedom. Its purpose was to promote the message that the State is not needed to support those who are in need. A campaign was organized to collect clothing, food, and toys for people in situations of vulnerability.

And also with their traditional gathering “Coffee and Ideas.” This time, the educational system was discussed with 23 attendees in the city of Azoategui.
