Mission Statement
FreeFrom’s mission is to create pathways to financial security and long-term safety for survivors so they have the opportunity to live free from abuse.
About This Cause
FreeFrom is a national organization, based in Los Angeles, transforming how our society addresses gender-based violence (GBV). Our society’s current approach to addressing GBV is rooted in carceral systems and only offers temporary support to survivors at a moment of acute crisis. FreeFrom is building a holistic support system for survivors, rooted in financial security, that begins long before a moment of acute crisis and continues long after. FreeFrom believes in the creativity, resourcefulness, and power that each survivor has to achieve financial independence and to build communities that support individual, intergenerational, and collective healing. We also believe that gender-based violence is a systemic problem in our society which we are severely lacking the infrastructure to address. FreeFrom’s work is to create that infrastructure, by piloting emergency cash and long-term savings programs for survivors; creating self-help resources for survivors; building peer networks that foster survivors’ collective power; growing the capacity of the anti-violence movement; changing existing laws and advocating for the passage of new and survivor-centered laws at the state and federal levels; expanding the data and research that exists to support the field; and bringing in employers, banks, and other institutions as part of the ecosystem working to support survivors' financial security and safety. FreeFrom is a team of survivors. We are a proudly queer, feminist, and people of color-led organization. Each of us brings unique experiences, insights, and drive to our work to end the cycle of violence.
