Why FREE Exists
We are a community of neighbors, organizers, and thinkers working to understand the economic and social systems that shape our lives and to build new ones rooted in care, not control. Together, we ask hard questions about power, wealth, and justice. We believe economics isn’t just theory; it’s our rent, our jobs, our neighborhood, our history, and our future.
