​

​​Herstory’s annual Freedom Forum, held outdoors at the Wyandanch Plaza on Long Island, uses memoir written in Herstory workshops in English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole to examine the cracks in the Liberty Bell and encourage audience members to take on the

issues of our time through a collective call to action.

​​​​​

Lively and powerful, our Freedom Forum builds and celebrates community through a combination of readings, reflections, music, spoken word, and dance, inviting passersby and onlookers, as well as audience members, to join in and take action. Since 2018, Herstory has been the Long Island representative of the Freedom Forum project, launched by the National Parks of New York Harbor Conservancy to highlight and confront social inequities.​​

​​

Special thanks to Suffolk County Office of Cultural Affairs, New York State Council on the Arts, New York Community Trust, Long Island Unitarian Universalist Fund, and the Wyandanch Plaza Association.​
