The Biggest Liberty Event of the Year Crushed All Expectations

This past weekend, American Action Fund, the grassroots arm of Young Americans for Liberty, was out in full force for YALCON 2024. More than one thousand students, liberty legislators, and activists gathered for this jam-packed conference, which featured big-name speakers, top-notch political training, discussion groups, and even a job fair for students seeking a career in the liberty movement.

With programming centered around the fight to advance liberty, the event highlighted the various successes Young Americans for Liberty has achieved over the last fifteen years, as it looked forward to continued success in promoting and implementing the ideas of liberty across the country.  To forward that message was a star-studded lineup of speakers that included Ron Paul, Vivek Ramaswamy, Congressman Chip Roy, comedian Dave Smith, Tulsi Gabbard, Congressman Eric Burlison, and Shelley Luther, just to name a few.

The push for the future didn’t stop there, though. Over one hundred of American Action Fund’s elite liberty legislators were in attendance to formulate their plans to advance libert in the next legislative session. They lay the groundwork to take the energy from YALCON 2024 back to their home states to continue to push for pro-liberty laws and legislation.

In years past, these meetings amongst Hazlitt members laid the groundwork for victories like passing Constitutional Carry in Louisiana and South Carolina this year, building on the success and lessons from members in states like Georgia, Indiana, and Kentucky while avoiding some of the pitfalls and problems experienced in Florida and Ohio.  Liberty Legislators had similar conversations about bills regarding free speech, healthcare price transparency, right-to-work laws, etc.  The fight for liberty was alive and well at YALCON.
