Freedom’s Revival
America is steeped in an idea of freedom that celebrates toxic individualism, independence, and the absence of responsibility for others. Our connectivity becomes hidden behind capitalist structures that separate us from our own humanity and each other. Next River recognizes that true freedom can only be fulfilled in connected, caring, and accountable community.
Freedom’s Revival will map a long-term plan that will show us how to get there through research, collaborations with culture change experts, movement building, and meaning making. Our strategy will detail how to deploy the activations for change, and how to become the people who can create a future where we are free.
Freedom’s Revival uncovers the path toward authentic freedom that embraces our inherent interdependence.
We are harvesting the seeds of collective liberation.

An Experiment in Freedom's Revival: Capital, Connection, and Climate
While we understand shelter as a basic human right, the experience and concept of “home” is also vital. As social animals, we long for the safety and belonging we find in connected communities. Home is more than a dwelling, it is family and relationship, it is safety and protection, it is a point of interconnection with neighborhood and community.
Finding Home will consider capital, community, and climate to create possibilities for marginalized people to secure their futures. This work begins with a research and design phase to create a collective home ownership pilot for a group of Black women.
