“The important thing is not to focus on differences but focus on the areas that you have in common. You don’t get anything done it you can’t work across the aisle.” –Patty Rose

Our youth and staff always appreciate time with Patty Rose, whose practical wisdom and more than four decades of experience as a labor leader come with dedication, humility and a sense of pride and good humor. She serves as Secretary Treasurer of the Pierce County Central Labor Council, AFL-CIO, in Tacoma, WA.

The Freedom Center continues to turn on a dime, increasing our online classes and sessions during the shelter-in-place order. We are bringing experts from around the world with feet-on-the-ground experience in organizing, civic engagement and public service together with our youth and staff.

This is an excellent time to study the relevance and importance of transforming ourselves to make change in the world.
