Membership in the Libertarian Party of California (LPC) includes membership in one county-level Libertarian Party organization, based on the mailing address you indicate on your membership application (in our case the Libertarian Party of San Mateo County, aka LPSM).
Join by calling (877) 884-1776, or by using a downloadable membership form found on the State and Local Membership web page.
State+County dues are $25 per calendar year. Renewing members are asked to pay an additional $30 for the state newsletter (which is sent to new members at no additional charge).
The Libertarian Party National Committee (LNC) is a distinct organization that operates at the federal level. Their dues are essentially $25/yr, which includes a monthly newsletter.
This 2.5 tier party structure is more complex than many people might assume, but is actually much simpler than that of the major parties.
Nationwide, all Libertarian Party organizations combined probably have a grand total of fewer than 15 full-time and part-time paid employees. Apart from outside contractors (auditors, printers, mailing houses, telemarketers), the LP is almost entirely governed and operated by volunteers. We depend on your time and donations—not influence-peddling—for our support. Thank you!
