EXETER — The Free State Project’s stated purpose is to move to New Hampshire, take over state government and establish a libertarian ideal of utopia. More than 20,000 libertarians signed a letter of intent to move, with thousands of early movers already in the state. A number of Free Staters have served in the New Hampshire House of Representatives.

The Rockingham County Democrats are sponsoring a talk by Zandra Rice Hawkins, executive director of Granite State Progress. “Exposing the Free State Project,” Wednesday, May 24 at 7 p.m. at the Exeter Inn, 90 Front St.

Granite State Progress is a progressive advocacy organization that addresses issues of immediate state and local concern. It works as a communications hub for the progressive community to provide a voice in advancing progressive solutions to critical community problems. Hawkins is founding executive director of Granite State Progress.

A question-and-answer session will follow her remarks. The event is free and open to the public. For more information, email Larry Drake, chairman of the Rockingham County Democrats, at larrydrake57@gmail.com.
