WHAT LIBERTY

SFL's HISTORY

Students For Liberty was founded in 2008 by a group of students who wanted to make a difference by supporting their fellow pro-liberty students on campus. Pro-liberty student groups had long been isolated from one another and the larger liberty movement. The initial Students For Liberty Conference at Columbia University was originally planned for around 30 students, but demand far exceeded those estimates and 100 students ended up attending the conference in spite of a blizzard that shut down most of the region.

From those humble beginnings, the organization has grown each year to keep up with the rapidly growing demand and provide support to the student movement for liberty. Our most recent International Students For Liberty Conference, held in Washington DC in February 2017, had over 1,400 attendees from 40 countries.
