Featured article: 50th Birthday Party
The LP Historical Preservation Committee is encouraging Libertarians nationwide to join in a 50th Birthday Party for the LP on 11 December 2021.
The LP is generally considered to have been "born" on 11 December 1971, when the group who had been calling themselves the "Committee to Organize a Libertarian Party" decided to actually do it!
Goals
Increase awareness of the LP's history.
Promote collection of material/recollections.
Encourage formation of state/local history committees/projects.
Encourage participation in LPedia.
Bring activists together for fun/celebration/camaraderie.
The concept is to hold celebrations all across the country, with local activists making whatever arrangements make sense to them. The HPC will be setting up a Zoom meeting to link all the local events together so that people in the various physical locations can share what they are doing.
Each local group will be responsible for picking a venue, inviting potential attendees, and providing whatever food or other materials may be involved.
