The Free State Foundation will celebrate its 15th anniversary at an in-person luncheon event at the National Press Club in Washington Oct. 15.
The event will be circumscribed by the Press Club's COVID-19 guidelines and precautions.
That means that all the in-person attendees and participants must either have to have been vaccinated or show proof of a negative COVID test in the previous 72 hours.
Free State, headed by Randolph May, has been a leading voice for free market-based communications policies.
