Freedom Cities is an emerging movement that seeks to make cities, towns and communities safe for all oppressed people in the U.S. Freedom Cities was conceived by those directly affected by policies that lock up, displace and economically marginalize communities of color. We believe that communities will only be safe when everyone lives with dignity and has the opportunity to thrive without fear of physical violence, racial injustice, and economic oppression at the hands of greedy corporations, white supremacists, or the government.

This toolkit is a starting place for the Freedom Cities movement to collectively answer the question: As we demand an end to the municipal policies and practices that harm us, what vision are we offering in its place that unites and builds the leadership of all marginalized communities?
