Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) came into existence in 2008, after the unsuccessful presidential campaign of Ron Paul. They set up nationwide chapters in high schools and college campuses, for the purpose of "advancing liberty on campus and in American electoral politics." They are active on almost 400 college and university campuses, represent thousands of students, and is the publisher of “The American Revolution” a quarterly magazine.
YAL opposes gun legislation, such as “red flag laws” and “critical race theory” at public schools. They often attack Democratic officials on social media.
Through YAL, the Hazlitt Coalition is an active network of nationwide state legislators with more than 300 members as of Nov. 2022. They believe in gun rights and vaccine choice, among other issues. For example, the coalition had filed about 25 bills in defense of people’s rights against COVID-19 protocols.
