The Liberty Leaders program is developing “spokespeople for liberty” in Illinois by providing citizens with knowledge of free market policies and the know-how to get them turned into law.
 +
 
 +
Besides providing Liberty Leaders with background and key information on why liberty-based policy will work for Illinois, the Liberty Leaders program coaches individuals on effective civic engagement. Here are some
 +
examples of how you can get involved:
 +
 
 +
*Write a Letter to the Editor
 +
*Contact your legislators
 +
*Attend Local Government meetings i.e. Village Board Meetings, Town Halls, County Board Meetings
 +

Since the program’s launch in June of 2008, Liberty Leaders have made over $3.5 billion in local taxpayer expenditures transparent and worked to stop a statewide tax increase–and we’re just getting started.
