** Join Liberty Fund's 2-Year Countdown to the 250th Anniversary of Independence
------------------------------------------------------------
The Declaration of Independence was a political document drafted for the urgent needs of a moment, but it became a recurring source of inspiration for all those who would defend liberty. We invite you to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence with us as a member of the Liberty Fund Network!
We are kicking off a two-year-long celebration featuring essays, podcasts, books, and more, and focusing on one theme per month related to our nation’s founding. This July, we are exploring the long tradition of debating the right to resistance. Specifically, what aspects of that tradition were most influential in forming the Declaration mindset?
