The Liberty Migration’s 20 Year Anniversary with FSP Founder Jason Sorens
Manage episode 372143990 series 3287194
October 1, 2003 was the date we announced New Hampshire’s selection as the Free State. Contrary to expectations, liberty lovers started moving right away. Thousands have now moved and gotten active. What impact have we had? What impact will we have over the next 20 years? The Free State Project was founded in 2001 by Jason Sorens, then a Ph.D. student at Yale University. Jason was studying independence movements in other countries and thinking about how liberty-minded folk could have an impact as a small minority in the world and the U.S. Jason published an article in The Libertarian Enterprise highlighting the failure of libertarians to elect any candidate to federal office and outlining his ideas for a migration movement that continues an American tradition of political migration, which includes groups such as Mormon settlers in Utah, Amish religious communities, and the "Jamestown Seventy", an earlier effort to influence the politics of a particular state through deliberate migration. Jason's essay eventually became the founding document of the Free State Project. In it, Jason proposed a mass migration, a voluntary resettlement of 20,000 libertarians, anarchists, anarcho-capitalists, pacifists, even freedom-minded Democrats and Republicans, to a single, relatively liberty-friendly state, where they could establish a beachhead of personal and economic freedom. Today, Jason is Senior Research Faculty at AIER and lives with his family in Amherst, New Hampshire.
