Here’s what you can do…

  • What does freedom mean to you?

    Tell us about it at submissions@fourfreedomsandbeyond.com

    Join the conversation on social media by following us on Facebook and Instagram to share, share, share — with friends, family, and colleagues.

  • Most important of all: Tell us what you think.

    Everyone has their own distinct vision of freedom. What is yours? Put your thoughts into words or any other form of art and send your ideas and perspectives to submissions@fourfreedomsandbeyond.com.

  • We encourage teachers of all types to adapt this lesson plan about Franklin Roosevelt’s “4 Freedoms” speech and its enduring historical importance.

    With your student’s permission, share their writing with us by taking a picture, scanning, or emailing the file to submissions@fourfreedomsandbeyond.com. We support student voices!

    Help find writers, thinkers, artists, and active citizens to get involved. Contact us.

  • Become an official partner and have your business or organization’s logo in media that covers the entire region.

    Sponsor a section of the 8-page educational supplement to the Ottawa Times, News Tribune, and Bureau County Republican in September.

  • Create! We are looking for original work depicting your idea of freedom. Just as Rockwell and Meiners created their own versions of FDR’s four freedoms, we want everyone to create his/her/their own vision of what freedom means.
