Live Free USA
Live Free USA
Live Free USA, headquartered in Berkeley, California, is a faith-based movement committed to healing communities fractured by gun violence and mass incarceration. Since its founding in 2011, Live Free has evolved into a national hub connecting thousands of faith leaders, directly impacted leaders, and movement partners united around a shared vision of peace and public safety. The organization's roots trace to community organizing in Oakland, California, where Rev. Michael McBride and collaborators developed the Oakland Ceasefire program—a violence intervention initiative that cut city-wide shootings and homicides in half. This success inspired Live Free to scale proven approaches nationwide, positioning itself at the forefront of the community violence intervention movement when few understood its potential. Live Free operates from the conviction that criminalization and mass incarceration of people of color, combined with lack of meaningful opportunities, have created a crisis demanding systemic change. Rather than viewing public safety through a purely enforcement lens, Live Free invests in those closest to the pain, building new systems centered on healing and prevention. The organization has incubated transformative initiatives including Community Justice, focused on federal and state gun violence policy; the Black Brown Peace Consortium, uniting violence intervention practitioners into a national advocacy coalition; and the Peace Consortium's Fund Peace Campaign, which unlocked billions in federal CVI funding. By bringing together education, advocacy, and community investment, Live Free embodies a holistic approach to reshaping public safety and expanding opportunity in Black and Brown communities across America.
