At the beginning of March, YAL announced "Visualize the Debt" -- a nationwide effort to inform college students about the dangers of our national debt, recruit new members to our network, and earn media attention to raise awareness.

As a result of the hard work and activism, 78 YAL chapters in 32 states took action.  This is YAL's largest nationwide activism project to date and a testament to the growing size and strength of YAL's network.

Thanks to your donations, YAL was able to put together a comprehensive activism guide AND offer each participating chapter a $100 activism grant and 'Visualize the Debt'-themed activism kit.  Your support really makes a difference to eager college students who want to fight for liberty!

Please take a moment to scroll through this comprehensive report to see what your support has made possible.

Media Coverage

Many YAL chapters captured the eye of local media outlets -- sometimes even garnering coverage from more than one source!

The participating YAL members worked hard to craft professional press releases, build press lists, and follow up with interested media members to build positive, lasting press relations. 

Take a look at some of the media coverage YAL chapters received:
