Since 2007, FreedomFest has been the leader in the liberty movement to bring together thousands of people committed to freedom – concerned citizens, educators, professionals, business leaders, filmmakers, politicians, celebrities, and policy makers.

FreedomFest will offer a mix of 2,000 open-minded and inquisitive people, from business experts, politicians, and entrepreneurs… to influencers, artists, and filmmakers. FreedomFest is independent, non-partisan, and not affiliated with any organization or political party.

SSDP’s Executive Director, Kat Murti, will be speaking on two panels at the conference!

“Can the Government Make More Babies?”
Wednesday June 11 at 1:00pm – 1:45pm PDT, Sierra

Fertility rates in the U.S. and around the world are plummeting. Trump says he wants a “baby boom” and to be “the fertilization president.” But can the government really boost birth rates? And should it? This panel will look at how pronatalist policies in other countries have fared (not well!), what the Trump administration is considering, and whether the push to increase fertility rates will be good or bad for women. The panel will also discuss libertarian policy tweaks that could be good for families.

Is drug use inherently harmful, or can it be beneficial when handled with personal responsibility and proper regulation? How can a free society apply individual liberty to create a safer and more responsible approach to drug use?

Join us to explore the complexities of this issue, challenging conventional thinking while considering the real-world impact of a libertarian approach to drugs. From personal autonomy to public health, this session offers a nuanced discussion on finding balance between freedom and safety in the realm of drug use. Prepare for an honest conversation that pushes the boundaries of today’s legal and social norms.
