ESFL Eastern Europe Retreat
The future of liberty in Eastern Europe is bright. On the 16-19th of July, Ukrainian Students for Liberty hosted the very first European Students for Liberty Eastern European Retreat (EER), which gathered 30 brightest advocates of liberty from 4 countries and 8 biggest Ukrainian regions. The four-day long retreat held in a small village on the outskirts of Kyiv marked the beginning of a close cooperation between the leaders of today and tomorrow and resulted in a number of great ideas about making this world a better place to live in.

Net Neutrality Day
Our blogging team at Speak Freely decided not to take part in the Net Neutrality Day. The “Day of Action to Save Net Neutrality” was an event on July 12, 2017, in which various organizations and individuals advocated for net neutrality in the United States. The event was a response to plans by Federal Communications Commission chairman Ajit V. Pai to end United States government policies which establish net neutrality. Over 50,000 websites, including many organizations, contributed activism after Fight for the Future convened the event.
