Resolution Against The Stay At Home Orders

The Libertarian Party of Los Angeles County resolves as follows: People own their bodies, and it is their personal responsibility to take care of them; People have a natural and constitutional right to travel and trade; We, the Libertarian Party of Los Angeles County, support the voluntary actions of individuals doing whatever they need to do to ensure their own health and the health of their families so long as they don't harm the person or property of others; Governments, where they exist, do not have the right to impede the travel and free trade that people depend on for their well being; The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, Sheriff Alex Villanueva, Mayor Eric Garcetti, and his administration do not have the authority to dictate what people can and cannot do with their own bodies and property; Los Angeles' economy depends on the free flow of goods and people acting autonomously; The government's orders have caused tremendous damage to the people of our county by subjecting them to poverty and restricting their movement. The harm disproportionately impacts low income people, undocumented people, LGBT people, and other at risk populations. Therefore, be it resolved the Libertarian Party of Los Angeles opposes the Los Angeles County shelter in place orders, all similar laws, penalties, and legislation. We call for their swift removal
