The Jefferson Area Libertarians are based in Charlottesville, Virginia, and are the central Virginia affiliate of the Libertarian Party of Virginia. We seek to advance the cause of freedom and liberty in our local politics, as well as at the state and federal level. 

The JAL was founded in 1997.  Our membership comes from many professions and backgrounds, but we all share a desire to stop the encroachment of all levels of government into our lives.

We try to accomplish these goals through running candidates for office, holding rallies, protests, and other events to publicize our positions, writing articles and letters to the editor, and speaking out against government injustices.
