Sobriety in the Liberty Movement

I am a sober libertarian. There are many of us out there and we want to let others know it is okay to say NO.

As a libertarian, I believe that every individual has the right to decide what to put into their own body. It is important to remember that along with rights comes responsibilities.

My personal reminder of this has been "just because you could doesn't mean you should".  This is the core of libertarianism; getting rid of government  returns the responsibilities to We the People.

 The Sober Caucus

Allow me to introduce to you the Sober Caucus. Simply put, our mission statement is:

      "[T]o empower individuals using Libertarian principles and policies to encourage a sober lifestyle."

Many of our members are themselves sober but our membership is not restricted to those who abstain. The Caucus welcomes everyone who supports sobriety and our mission to end the "War on Drugs".

We aim to provide community support and harm reduction within and outside of the Libertarian Party. We know that voluntary community support and charity is infinity more helpful than imposed government policies.

We have provided scholarships and funding to those in need of help and recovery. We host sober spaces at libertarian events along with harm reduction resources such as drug test strips and Narcan.

Please reach out if you or someone you know is in need of assistance. Help us build the voluntary community libertarians envision.
