At Freely in Hope, we believe that recognizing the inherent dignity of oppressed peoples is essential to the pursuit of justice.
to live under socioeconomic oppression,
to be looted of bodies and land,
to be deprived of justice and equal opportunity,
to be violated by harmful stereotypes as a result of White supremacy, patriarchy, and the reign of colonialism.
it requires listening to black voices,
it requires learning from black-led strategies,
it requires funding local initiatives and solutions,
it requires healing from our own prejudice and bias,
it requires our advocacy for the same justice that we desire for our own children to thrive.
Freely in Hope stands for Black lives. #BlackLivesMatter.
