We founded Global Freedoms because we see now that we cannot sustainably “free any nation” without actively connecting with freedom movements throughout the world.

We must develop coalitional global networks.

Coalition is hard. It will make us angry and frustrated. We will want to retreat back into our own silos and work with those who look like us and think like us. But we cannot survive in this world if we hide in these silos. Will you try to come with us? Will you disagree with us? Can we start a conversation, and maybe - just maybe - bridge our visions for a world that is safe and just and free for us all?

Global Freedoms foregrounds the importance of culture and storytelling to amplify the work of activists on the ground, scale human rights campaigns, raise broad awareness about injustice and empower people to join freedom movements globally.

We need and aim to provide a space for activists, artists, organizations, thinkers and leaders to actively connect in ways that exceed the nationalistic identities and borders used to separate us and our movements. Our aim is to impact policy and politics through culture and driving the narrative.
