African Students For Liberty by Colmas(m): 6:13pm On Oct 13, 2016
African Students For Liberty sprang out
from the efforts of young Africans to
stand up against the negative heritage
of tyranny and totalitarianism that has
plagued the continent for so long.
These young individuals are dedicated to
spreading the ideas of human dignity,
individual and economic freedom and
the ability to pursue one’s happiness
without coercion. African Students For
Liberty therefore provides a platform
for African students to generate and
share ideas that will lead to a
prosperous and liberated Africa.
Mission
Students For Liberty is a 501(c)(3)
nonprofit organization whose mission is
to provide a unified, student-driven
forum of support for students and
student organizations dedicated to
liberty.
What Liberty Means to SFL
Students For Liberty is an organization
that supports liberty. SFL does not
dictate the foundations upon which
individuals justify their belief in liberty.
Rather, Students For Liberty embraces
the diversity of justifications for liberty
and encourages debate and discourse on
the differing philosophies that underlie
liberty. What Students For Liberty
endorses are the principles that
comprise liberty:
Economic freedom to choose how to
provide for one’s life;
Social freedom to choose how to live
one’s life; and
Intellectual and academic freedom.
Theory of Social Change
SFL exists to empower students to
become leaders and agents of change in
their communities, particularly within
the university. Students are the
principal leaders, crafting our strategy,
and running programs to help fellow
students. All new SFL leaders, whether
Executive Board members, Campus
Coordinators, Charter Team Members,
and so forth, go through a rigorous
training program designed to teach
them how to become an effective leader
of liberty both generally and specifically
for their role. As part of this training,
all new leaders are given a 100+ page
SFL Leadership Handbook that covers
everything from what it means to be a
leader for liberty to effective
communication strategies.
The SFL Model
SFL is not a top down, chapter based,
or membership organization. Instead
SFL functions as a network of pro-
liberty students from a wide diversity of
locations and backgrounds.
We work with a diversity of student
organizations across the many
ideological positions within the
philosophy of liberty. These include the
campus Young Americans for Liberty,
Students For Liberty, College
Libertarians, free speech clubs, small “l”
libertarian association, economics club,
Objectivist society, Austrian Economics
reading group, Students for Individual
Liberty, and any other group that
supports an idea or cause of liberty.
History
Students For Liberty was founded in
2008 by a group of students who
wanted to make a difference by
supporting their fellow libertarian
students on campus. Libertarian 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 beginning the
organization has grown each year to
keep up with the rapidly growing
demand and provide support to the
student movement for liberty. The most
recent International Students For
Liberty Conference in 2015 featured
over 1,5000 attendees.
