We at LOLA are excited to share some great news with you. Our organization has expanded into 41 countries with 123 active LOLA Chapters and over 35,000 social media followers. We recently hired four exceptional women to meet the growing demand for women’s spaces and voices in the liberty movement. Each brings unique skills, passion, and dedication to our mission of educating and empowering women.
LOLAs new team members will assist us in expanding our chapter and social media initiatives. Additionally, they will introduce our new LOLA Activism Fellowship, which will help us connect with new audiences. We are confident that their contributions will be instrumental in helping us achieve our goals and create a positive impact on the world.
