Allison Gibbs who also works for the Campaign for Liberty as their Director of Outreach recently launched her own social media website, the “Ladies of Liberty Alliance” (LoLA). She undertook this venture as a means to provide grassroots activist training for the rising women leaders scattered throughout the freedom movement.
Currently the site is free to all who wish to join and participate; however, Ms. Gibbs does hope to offer paid membership in the near future for users who are interested in receiving additional training as it relates to speaking, writing, as well as various other techniques needed to facilitate a successful grassroots campaign.
In pursuit of the her desire to offer an expanded package of professionally geared services to women in the liberty movement, Ms. Gibbs commissioned a professional photo shoot to design and publish the first official “Ladies of Liberty Alliance” calendar. The sixteen-month calendar features mostly individual LoLA members who were free to choose their desired look in conjunction with their stance on a specific political issue.

The calendar is available to individuals who contribute a minimum of twenty-dollars via the PayPal/Google Checkout widget located on the site. As is also becoming standard practice in the liberty movement, the group is keeping a running tally of the money raised to date along with the project’s stated fundraising goal.
While some take issue with the calendar and see it reinforcing the stereotype of relegating women to sex symbol status to the detriment of their intellectual accomplishments, Ms. Gibbs states that her main impetus is solely to fill an underserved niche within the pro-liberty community, which in turn benefits the entire freedom movement.
