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. for more information about the group visit www.studentsforliberty.org www.studentsforliberty/africa.
