Liberal Men of the Lowcountry – Sharing concerns about social justice in the South Carolina Lowcountry

If by a “Liberal” they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people-their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights and their civil liberties-someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a “Liberal”, then I’m proud to say I’m a “Liberal.” — John F. Kennedy, Profiles in Courage

The root word of “liberal” is the Latin word “liberalis” (free), the same root word as “liberty.”

A liberal is someone who:
– believes that government should actively support social change
– is open to new behaviors and opinions
– respects individual rights and freedoms
– sees many traditional beliefs as subject to change
— Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Modern liberalism in the United States traces its history to popular presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt (New Deal), Theodore Roosevelt (Social Justice), Woodrow Wilson (New Freedom), John F. Kennedy (Civil Rights), Lyndon B. Johnson (Great Society), and Barack Obama (Affordable Care Act)

“Liberalism” is a political and moral philosophy based on liberty, consent of the governed, and equality before the law. — Wikipedia

The VISION of the Liberal Men of the Lowcountry (LML) is for all people to live in a safe, healthy, open-minded, thoughtful, caring and free environment where discrimination, sexism and racism are only historical words and where there is equal opportunity in all aspects of life for everyone.

The MISSION of LML is to provide a forum for liberal men to engage in discussion and expand our knowledge on issues of interest and to take action when the group or subsets of the group believe we can have a positive impact in Lowcountry communities and beyond.
