IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Free Minds Free People (FMFP). Free Minds, Free People (FMFP) is a national conference presented by the Education for Liberation Network that brings together teachers, young people, researchers, parents, and community-based activists/educators from across the country to build a movement to develop and promote education as a tool for liberation. The conference is a space in which these groups learn from and teach each other by sharing knowledge, experience, and strategies. The conference has been held every other year since 2007 in the following cities: Chicago, IL, Houston, TX, Providence, Ri, Oakland, CA, and Baltimore, MD. The conference has grown in participation each time we have convened FMFP. There was no conferene in 2024, and the conference currently remains on pause while being reimagined. A smaller number of gatherings may take place in 2025 to support this visioning process.
