Walt Disney said that the "way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing."  When it comes to campus activism, this principle is especially true:  Discussing philosophy with other liberty-minded individuals certainly has its time and place, but each and every Young Americans for Liberty chapter should devote the majority of its efforts to outreach and activism.

YAL's mission is to train, educate, and mobilize youth activists committed to "winning on principle." Our goal is to cast the leaders of tomorrow and reclaim the policies, candidates, and direction of our government.  We can't do any of that if we never move beyond private discussions of the finer details of our ideal free society.

Each year, YAL National organizes four to eight big activism events -- think Visualize the Debt or each semester's Recruitment Drive.  But in between each major event, your chapter will have a few weeks in which to exercise your creativity and take advantage of the unique strengths, skills, and ideas of your members.

Use the above list of activism ideas in those in-between times!  Most of them have been submitted after successful use by other active YAL chapters.  In fact, if you have an idea you think should be considered for this list, email a full description and any pictures of it you have to contact@yaliberty.org.
