Our friends at Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) hosted a massive 90th birthday celebration for one of the world’s most known and beloved voices for liberty, Dr. Ron Paul. It was a stacked lineup of guests, including many of the Liberty Movement’s best and brightest, and featuring keynote speeches from historian Dr. Thomas E. Woods, comedian and podcast host Dave Smith, and current US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, a long-time admirer. The celebration culminated in an impassioned address from Dr. Ron Paul himself, immediately followed by a touching moment in which he was sung ‘Happy Birthday’ by a crowd of over 1,000 fans. 

Special shoutout to YAL for distributing a Ron Paul Liberty Seed to each attendee!

The biggest award of the event was the inaugural Chip Mellor Prize for Excellence in Public Interest Litigation, presented to the New Civil Liberties Alliance for their pivotal role in ending Chevron Deference in June of 2024. For more on the Mellor Prize.

SPN also recently welcomed a new President and CEO, Christopher S. Dauer, who brings a wealth of expertise in both nonprofit and private sector leadership to the role, most recently as the Chief Program Advancement Officer for the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.

The Atlas Society will honor Richard J Stephenson with this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award at our 9th annual gala this fall. 💫 

For too long, capitalism has been under attack. Many business leaders have gone quiet, failing to defend the very system that drives prosperity, innovation, and individual freedom. It’s time for that to change. 💰️
