The future we long for is possible…
Next River is an institute for practicing the future.
Imagine a future where we all have what we need to live a life rich with wellbeing. Everyone is housed with nutritious food to eat and clean air to breathe. When conflicts inevitably arise, we use transformative justice to make amends. There is accessible healthcare for all our bodies, minds, and spirits. We live in right relationship with the land and other living beings.
This liberated future is on its way. But only if we make it.
Next River is working to create the cultural conditions necessary for a truly free world to emerge—starting by enabling a changed national belief about freedom.
Freedom is not independence. Freedom is connection, belonging, and care. What would be possible if we understood, believed in, and practiced a freedom rooted in our interconnectedness, and not our individualism?
Freedom’s Revival
Finding Home
In an unfree society, freedom must be made. Next River is experimenting with models for interconnected freedom by designing a collective homeownership pilot for a group of Black women and gender-expansive people.
