Come join the New York Forum for Freedom close the academic year with a blast!At 7pm on Saturday, April 23rd, the NYFF will be holding a social at BBQ Restaurant, located at 21 West 8th Street. This is an event meant to connect together libertarians of all stripes from the New York area.
Students and soon-to-be-graduates from schools in New York City and young professionals in the area are welcome. Invite your pro-liberty friends or those just curious about the ideas and looking for some friendly discussion.
Brian Aitken of the Foundation for Economic Education will be our guest speaker.
In August of 2010, Brian's wrongful conviction of illegal possession of handguns while traveling between residences in New Jersey resulted in a 7 year prison sentence. Judicial and prosecutorial corruption in his case drew international media attention. Within two months the ‘Free Brian Aitken’ Facebook page had gained over 15,000 fans with millions of page views. NJ Governor Chris Christie finally issued an Executive Order to grant Brian clemency in December of 2010.
Currently, Brian is the Director of New Media for the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE). Founded in 1946 to advance the freedom philosophy, FEE’s mission is to offer the most consistent case for the “first principles” of freedom: the sanctity of private property, individual liberty, the rule of law, the free market, and the moral superiority of individual choice and responsibility over coercion
