About Young Americans For LibertyFounded after the 2008 Ron Paul Presidential Campaign, Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) is the nation’s largest pro-liberty youth movement, building a powerful network of activists to transform states into beacons of freedom.We utilize a 3 step Build - Elect - Pass model to drive real change in America’s political system. Build: We are building the largest nationwide movement of committed youth activists on American college campuses, with pro-liberty students fighting on hundreds of campuses across the country. Elect: We mobilize our base of committed youth activists to be the grassroots muscle on campaigns of principled liberty legislators through Operation Win at the Door. Since 2018, we’ve built a coalition of over 400 active legislators in our National Liberty Legislator Coalition, and thousands of YAL-recruited students have knocked on over 6 million doors to turn out the vote. Pass: Use this coalition of principled liberty legislators to pass transformative policy at the state level. This coalition has already passed over 1,000 pro-liberty bills spanning from Universal School Choice, to Constitutional Carry, to major tax cuts and so much more. You can view the full list of bills passed at YALiberty.org/Liberty-Bills.Mission & VisionOur mission is to identify, educate, train, and mobilize youth activists committed to transforming our states into beacons of liberty by electing liberty legislators and passing liberty legislation. Our vision is to create Liberty Lighthouse States that will Transform Our States into Beacons of Liberty.Our Values & CultureYAL's culture is built on 5 foundational values:Goal Setting: We orient our work towards specific goals that align with achieving our long-term vision.Trust the Truth: We pursue the truth and are honest in all we do, even when it’s difficult. There should never be a situation where lying is the right answer if we’re truthful from the beginning.Grassroots Mobilization: We win on principle by generating grassroots pressure on the politicians. Unless you are politically feared, you will not be politically respected. Education alone is not enough.Principle: We believe in liberty — which provides the freedom to choose and requires taking responsibility for your choices — and individual rights — which must be respected at all times.Power of the Individual: We recognize everyone has an innate ability to make a difference.
