MASSACHUSETTS — A pair of North Quabbin voices joined a chorus of nearly 40 fellow Libertarians statewide, who gathered Saturday for the third-party’s annual state convention.
The “Libertarian Association of Massachusetts (LAMA) State Convention 2021” convened remotely on March 20 to nominate and elect officers, vote on resolutions and discuss increased political progress. According to a press release, the five-hour convention was visited by prominent national figures as well, including the party’s 2020 Presidential running mate, Jeremy “Spike” Cohen, and National Libertarian Committee Chair Joe Bishop-Henchman.
Charles Larkin of Athol and Ann Reed of Orange served on the day’s ad hoc Resolution Committee, and Larkin was also re-elected as LAMA Archivist. Both Reed and Larkin also serve on a local LAMA affiliate, the Libertarian Party of Worcester County (LPWC), which formed last year and meets monthly by remote.
Worcester County residents interested in possibly joining LPWC may contact affiliate chair and LAMA Communications Director, Janel Holmes at communications@lpmass.org or Larkin at 978-248-9899.
Franklin County residents interested in possibly forming their own affiliate may contact LAMA Political Director Michael Burns at political@lpmass.org.
Detailed information on the Libertarian party, which espouses “self-ownership and non-aggression,” is accessible at https://www.lpmass.org.
LAMA is the Massachusetts affiliate of the National Libertarian Party. As noted at Saturday’s state convention, 2021 marks the party’s 50th anniversary.
