New Hampshire’s Liberty Community

Friendly people, effective action.

Free Staters are creating a society in which people value each other’s rights and choices, even when they are unpopular, as long as they hurt no one else. This kind of community is dynamic, productive, open, friendly, and creative. It welcomes people to be authentic and to participate however they choose, and the results are invigorating and inspiring.

New Hampshire’s small size facilitates activism and frequent collaboration among participants. Regular meetups include social gatherings at restaurants and bars, potlucks, market days, movie nights, parties, and play dates. Online communities exist on Facebook and our Forum. Teams of friendly volunteers run Liberty Forum, PorcFest, and the Welcome Wagon (welcoming and assisting movers, even unloading their belongings when they arrive!).
