Turning California into a laboratory for freedom rather than a cautionary tale.
California's Liberty-Minded Future: A Roadmap for Freedom and Prosperity brings together leading thinkers, entrepreneurs, economists, and advocates for a full day of presentations, panel discussions, and conversation about where our state goes from here.
Whether you run a business, organize in your community, or simply care about the direction of California, you'll leave with practical ideas and new connections with people who share a commitment to individual liberty.
