Democracy in the purest sense means that people have the power to make, write, and rewrite the rules that shape our daily lives. Democracy is us — all of us. We achieve it and we make it real, through building community, organizing our neighbors, and taking collective action.
That is why, at the Freedom Together Foundation, they are doubling down on their mission to support people who have been denied power to build it, so they can change unjust systems and create a more democratic, inclusive, and sustainable society.
They are focused on building a deeper and broader pro-democracy movement, with organizations led by working-class people at the center. This movement aims to address the structural flaws in our system and bring forth a truly representative democracy.
They bring a deep well of hope to their work, rooted in what oppressed people have achieved when they come together to stand up for change. This spirit sustains us as they support organizations and leaders striving to build the country they know is possible.
