“Our Mission: To attract and persuade people to embrace libertarian principles and to empower libertarians to be highly successful at presenting the ideas of liberty to the world. We accomplish our mission by: Changing the dominant "Left-Right" political model -- which excludes libertarians -- to a more accurate and inclusive map like the one used by the World's Smallest Political Quiz, thus literally putting libertarians on the map. Identifying large numbers of new libertarian-leaning people through our online World's Smallest Political Quiz, our Operation Politically Homeless (OPH) kits, and quiz engagement initiatives, and introducing them to the ideas of liberty and effective ways to communicate those ideas to others. Training libertarian activists in proven, persuasive communications techniques that let them engage their fellow citizens and move the political debate toward freedom, opportunity and respect for others. Offering products to help libertarians rapidly grow their organizations by identifying and activating large numbers of potential libertarian activists. Educating new and prospective libertarians on the philosophy of freedom.”
