                         Libertarian Organizations

  Please read this note: In an attempt to reduce both spam and other
  abuses, all fax numbers have been deleted from this list, and all
  email addresses have had the "at-sign" @ in them replaced by ".AT." --
  the four characters dot, A, T, dot. If you want to email anybody
  listed here, just copy the address into your mail program, find the
  ".AT." somewhere in the middle of it, and replace those four letters
  with just one "at-sign". Sorry to have to do this, but it was
  necessary.

Credits, Sources, Disclaimers, etc.

  This document contains a list of "libertarian oriented" organizations.
  Some organizations included may not be specifically libertarian, but
  share a common view with libertarians on one or more issues. Sources
  used to be listed here, but there are too many to list now; most of
  the current info has come from the Web, as you might expect.

  Obviously, nothing here should be taken as implying either (a) that
  any of these organizations endorse the principles or platform of the
  Libertarian Party, (b) that any of these organizations endorse
  eachother's goals or beliefs, or (c) that either libertarians in
  general or the Libertarian Party in particular agree with everything
  that these organizations stand for. Libertarianism is a very deep and
  wide movement; there are many overlapping communities of thought both
  within that movement and with others.

  Comments, corrections, and additions are always welcome; please send
  them to rab.AT.daft.com Please refer to the "Last-modified"
  information above when you do so. Please don't send email that says
  ``Why don't you have so-and-so listed?'' unless you also include
  contact information for the organization you're concerned about. Note:
  this list is for organizations that have a physical address; if there
  is a Web page or an Email contact it is also listed. If you don't have
  a physical address, you can't be listed here. Sorry. Please don't
  assume that anything ``conservative'' must of necessity be of interest
  to Libertarians; the overlap between libertarians and conservatives is
  relatively small and certainly no larger than that between
  libertarians and liberals. Both are important, but ultimately
  peripheral.

  Any listing which cannot be verified or contacted for six months or
  more may be marked "DEFUNCT" and/or removed to the defunct
  organizations list, which may be reviewed at
  http://www.daft.com/~rab/liberty/lo-defunct.html if you like. When I
  can verify an organization's information, a line giving the date will
  be appended to its entry, looking like this:
  [1999.09.02]

  This document began life in 1994 as a (text-only) Usenet ``FAQ'' file
  which was created and maintained by Paul Schmidt
  pschmidt.AT.world.std.com of the Advocates for Self Government. It was
  first converted into HTML by Jeffrey Breen job.AT.NovPapyrus.com and
  that HTML was extensively edited and improved by Bob Bickford
  rab.AT.daft.com who also re-formatted all of the entries (whew!) into
  a standard format. It has grown a great deal since then, and Bob
  continues to actively maintain the document, and welcomes your input
  (see above).

Additional Resources

  There are many other lists of organizations out there; one of the
  largest -- and longest-published -- is the Index On Liberty published
  by a Norwegian libertarian newsletter. A copy of this list is online
  at http://clipper.spinnaker.com/liberty/docs/index.txt Note that many
  of the entries have out-of-date contact information (regrettably, this
  is a persistent problem for all such lists, including mine).

  Also of interest is the directory of various (mostly quite old) files
  listing "libertarian organizations" both in the USA and abroad, found
  at
  http://www.mit.edu/activities/libertarians/libertarians/Reference/Orga
  nizations/ 

  Most other lists I've seen tend to be conservative and thus not of
  much interest to Libertarians.

Abortion

  Note: the Libertarian Party has often used the slogan "We're
  pro-choice on everything." because that is (largely) true. But just
  like the rest of the population, there is a range of opinions on this
  difficult subject within the movement. Most positions are well-covered
  by existing (non-Libertarian) groups, but a non-religious case against
  abortion is one of the few that isn't. Hence the listing below.

    Formed to argue that abortion is aggression under general
    libertarian principles. Reasoning is expressly philosophical
    rather than religious. Founded 1976. Regrettably, they make the
    same mistake (assuming what one is trying to prove) that most
    debaters on both sides of this subject make.

    Infamous throughout the libertarian movement in the 1980s and
    early 1990s for their founders' repeated slanderous attacks on
    Libertarian Party candidates, this group has matured somewhat
    and appears to have settled down to the serious (even if likely
    futile) business of trying to persuade Republicans to embrace
    the ideas of Liberty. Although annoying when they confuse
    conservative ideas with libertarian ones, they are nonetheless
    interesting. Web site was down for a long time and recently
