990 for the year ended December 31, 2024

Program accomplishments

  • Through our work, we seek to shift mindsets and practices to center mutual care, and move toward a just society where everyone has what they need to live a life of meaning and wellbeing. We interrogate the systems and cultural frameworks that underpin our current conditions, surface new and better narratives to ignite in our collective consciousness, and create opportunities for experimental practices that center healing, transformation, and liberatory world-building. Over the course of 2024, we designed, prototyped, and launched Freedom Revivals workshops curricula; strengthened our organizational capacity; and developed key partnership to advance development of a forthcoming book on freedom. We have facilitated Freedoms Revival curricula at 6 in-person events with an estimated total of 500 attendees and 2 virtual events with an estimated total of 80 attendees.
