Liberatus is a creative journal project that brings together writers from across the political spectrum to explore healing in American politics. Starting in 2015, the organization has published 122 stories, articles, and interviews across eighteen journal series, all focused on finding common ground and unity. The writers come from Capitol Hill and throughout American politics but work together despite their different views.
Their goal is to redefine liberty and freedom for our time through what they call 'the creative pursuit of truth and beauty.' The journal covers topics like political leadership, immigration stories, peacemaking, and building bridges across divides. All content is archived on their website and available to read for free. The organization believes that inclusive communities, wisdom, and creativity are the keys to human freedom.
They've raised over $80,000 from 61 donors to support this work. The journal entries often include action items for readers to apply the ideas in their own lives. This represents a faith-based approach to political healing that emphasizes bringing people together rather than driving them apart.
