Libertarians of Montgomery is a county-level affiliate of the Libertarian Party of Ohio. Our goal is nothing more nor less than a world set free in our lifetime. To this end, we intend to grow our county affiliate to promote liberty candidates for local offices, challenge unjust laws and support needed reforms, and demonstrate ways people can voluntarily accomplish what the government fails to accomplish coercively.
Libertarians of Montgomery hosts a casual social gathering at 6pm on the first Sunday of each month at Bennett’s Publical, 67 S Main St, Miamisburg, OH 45342, and a business meeting at 6 pm on the third Thursday of each month at Brixx Ice Company, 500 E 1st St, Dayton. Both meetings are open to the public, and everyone is welcome to attend! Check the Events Calendar to verify the time and date of the next meeting, or to find other Libertarian Party events near you.
