On September 19, I spoke at Tides Advocacy’s Beyond Impact conference and explained my theory of “Freedom With” and how this understanding and implementation of freedom can make America a more expansive, inclusive, and peaceful society.
The speech also details how when Americans think of “freedom” they primarily think about “Freedom From.” We understand freedom to be a freedom from an oppressor. And while this iteration of freedom can be empowering, it can also corrupt and destroy freedom.
Since our founding, the United States has embraced an iteration of freedom that will eventually destroy our freedoms and democracy. If we want to preserve our freedoms, we must embrace Freedom With.
I hope you enjoy the speech.
