Happy New Years!For too long, the liberty movement has been told to vote Republican or Democrat and try to move the Overton Window. For too long, those that have rejected the mistaken belief that we can work through the two-party system have spent millions of dollars on presidential candidates with no chance of winning. For too long, we have worked in a divided party with no direction of where to go. For too long, we have made no difference.
In 2021, across the country, the Libertarian Party has elected hundreds of local leaders, bringing their communities closer to liberty and the world we all want to live in. Last year alone, an off-year election where most seats were not in front of voters, almost 200 Libertarians were elected. Those leaders are building up community loyalty and moving to make real change. Marshall Burts even utilized his success at the local level to fuel a successful run for the Wyoming House, restoring the Libertarian Party to elected state government for the first time in years. This strategy is working across the country because most regulation, taxation, and governmental interference that affects our lives happens in our cities, counties, and states. This model relies on the strength of our county and state Libertarian Parties. We need dedicated volunteers and community leaders to not only step up to run for office but to lead their local parties. This is where all of our focus ought to be.
We're ready. This is the only focus of the Libertarian Party of Alameda County going into the new year. With an updated web and on-the-ground presence and a team of volunteers to help propel candidates to success, winning locally is our number one and, to be frank, only goal. At the launch of our first candidate for the 2022 election cycle, Michael Lema, a community leader who has a visible path to victory, we set a new record for web traffic and candidate donations. This is a vital sign that in 2022 Alameda County can reflect the gold wave of 2021. In addition, the campaign committees for every single one of our candidates are working tirelessly to prepare the groundwork for more announcements that Libertarians are seeking, and running to win, offices across our county. Upcoming Events:January Quarterly Business Meeting! Join the Libertarian Party of Alameda County on the second Thursday of January (January 13'th) for our quarterly business meeting and annual officer elections! 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! In addition, all members of the LPAC will be able to run for and vote on our Executive Committee leaders for the next year. Get your membership today!

Donate To The LPAC!
The system is rigged. From filing fees designed to keep Libertarians off the ballot to news stations that only cover community leaders who can pay, American politics is designed to disenfranchise you and silence your voice. It shouldn't cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars to get your presidential candidate on every ballot, but it does. It shouldn't cost your candidates thousands of dollars to run a winnable campaign, but it does.
However, your donation will begin to reverse the tide. Money donated to us goes to promoting candidates and community leaders, defeating big government measures on the ballot, and tearing down the system that oppresses you. We will tear down unfair systems and restore control to the people. With your support, we can do anything, together.
Calling All Student Libertarians!
The future of the liberty movement is already here! Across the country, young Americans are pushing back against the narratives pushed by older generations, Republicrats, and (unfortunately) some schools and teachers. Recognizing that today's high schoolers and college students are the LP's future, the Libertarian Youth Caucus (LYC) is organizing and coordinating these students into powerful groups operating on campuses across the country. The LYC seeks not just to spread the message of liberty to America's youth but to cultivate future leaders and candidates for the Libertarian Party. Their members go out into the world with party connections, knowledge of actual campaigns, and the toolset to start channeling their ideals into real-world action.
If you are interested in starting or joining a local LYC chapter, email [email protected]. If you want to learn more or join the caucus:
