The Liberty Girls are a group of empowered women-identifying rollerskaters located in the diversely vibrant heart of New York City.
Our mission is to create a supportive community where individuals from marginalized groups can freely express their identities, foster connections, and champion inclusivity while on and off wheels.
As we roll forward, we are committed to breaking stereotypes and embracing the richness of our shared experiences whilst serving groups who make efforts for social justice change, mental health awareness, and women’s & LGBTQ+ rights.
