Liberty International (organization)

Liberty International (the new public name of the International Society for Individual Liberty, Inc. or ISIL[1]) is a non-profit, libertarian educational and networking organization based in Dallas, Texas. It encourages activism in libertarian and individual rights areas through the 'freely chosen strategies' of its members. Its history dates back to 1969[2][3] as the Society for Individual Liberty,[4] founded by Don Ernsberger and Dave Walter. The previous name (ISIL) was adopted in 1989 after a merger with Libertarian International was coordinated by Vincent Miller,[5][6] who became president of the new organization.

The organization is chaired by Mary Ruwart with Jacek Spendel serving as current president. Board Members include Ken Schoolland, James Lark, Per Bylund, Lobo Tigre, Jose Codiero, and David Walter. The organization has members in over 80 countries.[7]
