Check out YAL activities on campus and updates from around the liberty movement.
Georgia Tech YAL kicked off our semester last week with our first recruitment drive for the semester! We came, we saw, we passed out Constitutions, we started a buzz on campus. While Spring semester recruitment is usually slower than Fall, we still did fairly well on sign-ups. We had solid conversations with students as they …
The involvement fair at the beginning of this semester was a complete success. Our table hosted a number reading materials, free books, merchandise, and a political compass quiz. I had the opportunity to have political conversations with many of the incoming freshmen while they took the quiz. It was nice to hear about what the …
Every fall, the University of Wisconsin-Madison hosts a two day student organization fair at the Kohl Center (our venue for basketball and hockey). We filed into the Kohl Center with over 900 other student organizations and eagerly awaited the crowds of (mostly) freshman to come see what YAL is all about. Both days, we collected …
YAL-Whitewater had a great start to the year with an amazing first meeting and a fantastic table at the involvement fair. Our table was covered in constitutions that we had to keep restocking because of the multitudes of people asking for them. We also had ‘Liberty Pong’ which was a huge hit and provided us …
On Wednesday, State Chair Lisa Di Giovanna and I had an active recruiting campaign at East Los Angeles College. Going to sociology and history classes, we made a direct pitch to students to raise awareness of YAL’s presence on ELAC. The chapter is recognized by YAL, but it’s still a work in process of being …
The YAL chapter in Oneonta kicked off this semester at the Club Expo held by SUNY Oneonta. As a club participating in the expo we were able to get 20 new sign ups. We are happy to report that we out-recruited the College Democrats at SUNY Oneonta. For our first meeting on 9/14/17, we had …
The YAL club at the University of Vermont tabled at the activities fair on Sept, 6th. We had rich discussions with a wide range of people including those that ideologically disagree with us. We garnered 20+ sing ups in the progressive haven of Vermont, making it a successful day. Special thanks to Sam Mariscal from …
First day back at Northern Kentucky University. Noon. Three courses over for the day… That’s when the real fun began. I hit the space in front of the Student Union–the area that receives the most traffic throughout the day–and start pitching liberty. With the help of good people like Abe, Nathan, Sebastian, and John, we …
With all the recent controversy over at UMASS Amherst over Harambe memes and free speech, I decided it would be a smart tactic to include Harambe at my YAL Chapter’s table at the BCC Annual Club Fair. I went and printed out some “Saving Private Harambe” Memes, grabbed my materials, and set up shop (Which …
If you’ve never taken the Youth Leadership School from the Leadership Institute, you’re truly missing out. It’s an easy way to maximize your effectiveness as a student activist. One of the techniques the YLS teaches is especially applicable for those heading to a Division I campus this fall: Operation Pigskin. The idea is that …
