Link to the February 2021 Michigan Libertarian
Detroit, MI – On January 26th 2021, President of the Detroit Chapter of America’s Future, Brandon Brice, announced that Scotty Boman was the new Chairman. America’s Future was founded in 1995 it is a nationwide network of liberty-minded young leaders. The purpose is to nurture new leaders in the liberty movement by providing unique opportunities to learn about pro-liberty ideas and develop the skills they need to articulate them.
In 2021 the Detroit chapter is transitioning to expanding its reach to be a statewide chapter. This increased reach will occur with a continued focus on urban issues.
One of America’s Future’s outreach practices is to host dinners where guest speakers, or panelists, discuss different sides of controversial issues that have libertarian implications. The January 26th event was a webinar because venues that typically host events for America’s Future are closed due to COVID-19 related precautions and restrictions. That event entitled, Should Detroiters Get The COVID-19 Vaccine? Featured speakers who addressed the medical benefits of the vaccine and how many Detroiters are mistrustful of large-scale vaccination efforts.
