  • The Free State Strategy | Eric Brakey at the Libertarian National Convention
    2026/07/29

    Speaking at the Libertarian National Convention in Grand Rapids, Eric shares how the Free State Project has transformed New Hampshire into a proving ground for libertarian ideas by encouraging thousands of liberty-minded people to relocate and get involved in their communities. He explains why he believes concentrating activists in one state has produced meaningful political, cultural, and economic change that would be difficult to achieve through scattered national efforts. Brakey also discusses why state and local action offers a more effective path to advancing liberty than focusing on Washington, D.C. The talk concludes with an audience Q&A covering grassroots organizing, political strategy, and the future of the liberty movement.


    Special thanks to Ethan Mathis for providing his recording of the event.
