WHAT IS LOLA?

The Ladies of Liberty Alliance is a network of independent, libertarian women leaders who, through their careers and/or personal endeavors, are dedicated to spreading the ideas of individual liberty and a free society. Participation in the Ladies of Liberty Alliance is open to any female who identifies with or is wishing to explore, libertarian ideas. LOLA participation is free and self-defined.

LOLA encourages and supports women to stay engaged with libertarian philosophy, promote liberty to new audiences, and elevate their work through leadership opportunities and training.

Our goals are to address the shortage of women in the liberty movement and to create an empowered network of libertarian women leaders actively engaged in promoting the ideas of liberty through their local LOLA Social Chapter.

MISSION:

LOLA
Educates and
Empowers

female leaders in the liberty
movement.

VISION:

A society where libertarian ideas are

compelling
and credible

over socialist ideas leading to

a freer, more prosperous,
and peaceful world.

WHY DOES LOLA EXIST?

We believe that libertarians have a lot of work to do when it comes to effectively communicating our ideas to the general public. Often, our ideas are being taught at an academic or economic level failing to present our ideas in a relatable or empathetic manner. Research shows that libertarian women tend to be more empathetic than libertarian men, and with more voices of empathy teaching our philosophy, we are then able to reach new audiences. That is why empathy and compassion are key to promoting the message of liberty effectively. If we want a more free prosperous world, we first need more female leaders promoting our ideas.
