Be active

– Become a member of the  National Libertarian Party. Some states require national membership in  order to be selected as a delegate to the national convention.

– Become a member of your state Libertarian Party,  find your state party officers (Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary,  Treasurer). You can usually find this information on your state party  website in a “about us”, “about the party” or “meet the team” page. You  can also look at the attendance at each state’s last meeting in their  meeting minutes. Becoming a member of your state party will give you a  voice and vote in matters of your state party. From there you can build  your network.

– When you make contact with a party officer, find out if there is a  county affiliate in your county. If there is no county affiliate in your  area, ask them how to start one! Creating new county affiliates is one  of the most productive things you can do. If there is an existing county  affiliate, find out who organizes it, contact them and start attending  those meetings as well.

-There are many ways that you contribute. You can  volunteer for your state our county LP social media team, you can help  with ballot access petitioning, attend the meetings for both the state  and county Libertarian Parties. This will help you to learn how the  party works and find your niche.

– Consider becoming a delegate for the National Convention. This is  where we vote on changes to the bylaws, presidential candidates,  national party officers, and other business. If you are unhappy with  leadership, or the direction of the party, you are going to want to plan  on getting down to the convention. Go here to find out more https://libertarianconvention.org/

– Attend your local and/or state government meetings. This will  enable you to see who is active in your state or community, who your  representatives are and begin networking with them. That will go a long  way towards creating coalitions.

The LP has three levels: The national Libertarian Party (which is governed by the Libertarian National Committee,  or LNC), state affiliates, and county affiliates. You can and should  become a member of all three levels. If you have not become a member of  your state party, do so and contact your state chair

Committees are working groups that generate reports and do the work of  the party in some specific or specialized way. For example, the LP has  the Blockchain Committee, and the Convention Oversight Committee. You  will want to join committees if you are looking to advance your network  and position in the party. You can find what National Libertarian Party Committees exist at that link.
