SFL’s Mid-Atlantic Summit

Students For Liberty will take a deep-dive into economic freedom and libertarian thought.

You won’t want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear nationally recognized speakers in such a small setting!

We have a full day planned for the free thinkers and learners of the DC area!
