Cross-County CooperationOver the last year, Libertarian parties around California, and especially in the Bay Area, have seen tremendous growth and increased focus on fielding candidates and winning office. Over the last few months, volunteers from other counties have stepped up to advance our candidates, and volunteers from Alameda County have helped the new leadership in many neighboring counties get their bearings and start to advance liberty. That exchange of skills, ideas, and resources is critical in order to advance our mission and set all of us free, together. If you are a Libertarian activist who needs support in Alameda, or anywhere else, email [email protected]. We will be happy to help! Going forward, we would like to provide opportunities in this newsletter, on our social media, and in person to engage in cross-county cooperation. Look out for candidates from counties like Contra Costa listed on our candidates page and opportunities in our publications! In addition, you can check out two of our more active neighbors directly, the Contra Costa County LP and the San Fransisco LP! Upcoming Events:April Quarterly Business Meeting: Join the Libertarian Party of Alameda County on the second Thursday of April (April 14'th) for our quarterly business meeting! The Executive Committee will be there to update everybody about the progress of the party and vote on plans for the future. Everybody is invited to weigh in, and liberty advocates from around the county (and perhaps even beyond) will be there to help guide our next quarter! Get your membership today to vote on central committee propositions. In addition, please RSVP if you intend on coming! It helps us reserve the correct number of tables and prepare for all the libertarian activists in (and beyond) Alameda County.
Annual Ski Trip: Join the LPAC on our annual ski trip! While we missed hitting the slopes with everyone over the last two years, now that the lodges are open and COVID is behind us, we can resume our tradition that our members have enjoyed for over ten years! We will be renting a house at Mountain Rose just before the closing day of the skiing season. The cost will likely come out to around $150 per person (not including transportation, the lift, and ski rentals). If you are interested in attending, contact Peter Schoewe at [email protected] to pay, be in the loop about plans as they develop, or ask any questions you may have.
May Meet and Greet: Join the Libertarian Party of Alameda County on the second Friday of May (May 13'th) for our monthly meet and greet! If you want to learn more about libertarianism, the Libertarian Party, or just what we're doing, come out! Our exceptional candidates and project leaders will be there to brief attendees on opportunities to help. Please bring enough cash to cover your own food & drink as there will not be separate checks. In addition, please RSVP if you intend on coming! It helps us reserve the correct number of tables and prepare for all the libertarian activists in (and beyond) Alameda County.

Open Offices! |
Even if you don't want to run for public office and try to win an election, there are many ways to get involved with your government and make decisions to bring liberty to your local area. Across Alameda are committees spending taxpayer dollars and creating regulations that are appointed, not elected! These committees are generally out of the public eye and don't have a lot of interest. If you are interested in making change in your community, email [email protected] and we can help you get appointed!
Additionally, 19 seats are open on the county's Civil Grand Jury, responsible for investigating public offices and how taxpayer money is being spent. If you are interested in applying, you can submit an application at http://grandjury.acgov.org/join-us.page, no later than April 15'th. |
