The North Carolina Freedom Papers are a collectively developed mixed media document that seeks to articulate the bold visions of Black Led formations and communities across NC. The freedom papers were inspired by the Dream Defenders Freedom Papers from Florida, created with the input of more than 50 black-led individuals and organization from across NC , under the guidance of Dasan Ahanu and Julu Holton.
 
We hope that these Freedom Papers inspire you to dream, beleive in, and fight for the world and future we deserve.

Since January 2025 we have watched ruthless billionaires strip away the already insufficient and crumbling social services that many of our beloved communities depend on. They are creating more and more barriers to access the hoarded resources we need to continue resourcing our member organizations, mutual aid funds and rapid response efforts. We are experimenting with different ways that we can raise the material resources these systems demand in ways that:

• Free us from funders who do not care about our beloved communities 
• Give us the freedom to respond to the emerging needs of community with ease 
• Plan sustainable and resilience movements
