In 2009, a group of women got together to address the shortage of female leaders in the fight for liberty and called themselves the Ladies of Liberty Alliance (LOLA).
Two short years later, LOLA became a non-profit educational organization with the mission of educating and empowering female leaders within the liberty movement. LOLA provides leadership training to equip women with the tools and techniques necessary to spread the message of liberty.
