LIVE FREE BELIEVES THAT:
Faith and culture must coexist to enact changes.
Faith and culture have been and will always be at the center of societal equity in black and brown communities. This relationship is critical in understanding the needs of its people and mobilizing these historically marginalized communities.
It takes everyone to bring solution.
Everyone has been affected by gun violence, mass incarceration, and mass criminalization, and everyone must be a part of the solutions to eradicate gun violence, mass incarceration, and mass criminalization.
Transformed people transform communities.
Providing essential resources through proven programs, policy/advocacy, and proclamations will lead to real transformation and healing in our people and in our communities.
Freedom and safety are human rights.
Democracy is a right that must be consistently curated to ensure that all communities are free and safe.
Truth.
There are evidence-informed solutions to community issues that influence our work. As truthtellers, it is vital to be a reliable source of information and resources.
