Our Vision and Mission
Live Free USA is dedicated to fostering environments where communities thrive through self-determined solutions. Our mission is to dismantle systems of oppression by empowering those most affected to lead the charge for change. We believe in a future where safety, dignity, and opportunity are accessible to all, achieved through collective action and community-driven initiatives.
Guiding Principles of Our Work
At Live Free USA, our initiatives are anchored by four strategic pillars: Justice, Technical Assistance, Culture & Storytelling, and Community Grantmaking. These pillars guide our efforts to build leadership, provide essential resources, and amplify the voices of marginalized communities. By focusing on these areas, we aim to create sustainable, community-led solutions that address systemic inequities and promote healing and empowerment.
