To redefine freedom means to revisit, reinterpret, and expand the meaning of freedom in a way that resonates with the present and future,

addressing contemporary challenges while honoring foundational principles. It involves asking critical questions about what freedom means, who it serves, and how it can be actualized equitably in a rapidly changing society. In short, redefining freedom isn’t about discarding past ideals but expanding and evolving them to ensure they are inclusive, just, and meaningful in our current American reality. "
