The libertarian think tank is telling young conservatives in Colorado to forget about Nancy Pelosi and go to a city council meeting.
Share this:Instead, the libertarian think tank aimed at enhancing"personal and economic freedom" is calling for action — specifically, for more people to get involved in local politics.
"The left tends to get involved at the local level," Chandler told students at her most recent class on August 24."That's why we have all of these policies that are not necessarily bent toward personal and economic freedom. They tend to build that permanent political grassroots structure; they bring lots of people to the discussion; they have a broad tent."
On the"center-right" side of the political spectrum, according to Chandler,"they tend to have the mentality that, 'Well, if we just vote the right person into office then everything will be fine.' Well that's not necessarily true.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Chandler started holding her classes on Zoom, which she has continued ever since."Zoom allows it to be statewide, which is really the goal," she tellsDuring each gathering, Chandler likes to describe the importance of knowledge and participation in hyper local politics.
Once on a board, students will have far more power to affect what's going on in their lives than if they just vote.
