There is often talked about. Often it is the conservatives telling what freedom is. What would be progressive freedoms?
The freedom for open information - government should tell me the truth.
The freedom to find a good job and make a decent living at it.
The freedom to live in a country free from discrimination and working toward healing the effects of past discrimination.
The freedom to live in a corruption-free political system minimally affected by concentrations of wealth.
The freedom to live in a community where my family and I are as secure as possible and where everyone is treated fairly.
The freedom to live in a poison-free community, free from the pollution of others.
There are many, many more!
