Organizers from the Libertarian Party national office are seeking recognition of the Brooklyn libertarian branch as key opportunity for the party’s image. New York City Libertarian parties have been on a role with record numbers of their candidates on ballot in 2013. See the Brooklyn Libertarian Party Facebook page and also take part:

Join us Sunday, September 28, 2014, at the Atlantic Antic, on Atlantic Avenue near Bond Street, space GN51 on the north side of Atlantic Avenue, in front of 395 Atlantic Avenue.

Also see the website of the New York State Libertarian Party. The national Libertarian Party recently spoke about their push into New York City on their website:

The LP does not have ballot status in New York, so it was necessary for every candidate to submit independent petition signatures — ranging from 3,750 signatures each to run for the mayor, comptroller and public advocate, to 450 signatures to run for city council in a local district.
