Speaker: Dennis Pratt, {Website} {Pic} advocating liberty for 40 years, but only for the last 2.5 years has he lived in the Free State. He cannot believe that it took him this long to find the place that feeds his soul. Instead, he lived in authoritarian states, denigrated and vilified for his most cherished beliefs of how humans should treat one another (peacefully, respectfully, tolerantly, consensually). And he has something to say if you think that freedom is something you can deny yourself over your lifetime, hiding who you truly are from those who believe in your subjugation.
. . . As the Chef de Village of PorcFest XVIII (PorcFest 2021), Dennis has reimagined this quite different PorcFest to align more with our FSP goals to attract more liberty lovers — and to connect and to activate those liberty lovers — to build greater libert.

Many different types of migrants are transforming New Hampshire into a Free State. Carla and Dennis will describe some of the different types of liberty heroes we have, and we’ll share our vision or how porcupines are creating an actually free future. We’ll give you a chance to talk about how liberty is important to you, and what type of liberty you would like to build for yourself, your family, and your community. {More}
