Liberatus is an organization that works to bring Americans together and reduce political division. This report looks back at their 10 years of work from 2015-2024. They create content, experiences, and training to help people become better leaders who can work across political differences.
The organization was founded by Caleb Paxton after he felt burned out by regular politics. They believe in building trust, working together, and having endurance to solve problems instead of fighting culture wars. Over 10 years, they published a magazine called Volume One, created leadership training materials, built an archive of writing, and developed 95 guidelines for leading in politics.
They've distributed 251 copies of their magazine across 21 states, had 133 donors give over $121,000 total, and donated $696 to partner organizations. The report shows how they survived many challenges including a car crash, pandemic, and housing instability. They want to inspire people to see politics as an adventure that requires endurance rather than constant fighting.
The organization focuses on Christian values and believes the kingdom of God offers better solutions for American politics. They're now planning for the next decade of work.
