Liberati: "To Break Free"
Just as a bird born in a cage is not aware of it's ability to fly, millions of beautiful people held captive by high control religions need support to find their wings, break free and take flight!
Our Story
In 2022, motivated by a strong desire to pay it forward, four cult survivors—Anne, Daniel, Elaine, and Ryan—came together to work on the initiative that would become The Liberati. As the project gained momentum, three more joined the board—Ashli, Jenny, and Ramon. After incorporation in New York State, the organization officially debuted with the public launch of its website on July 4th, 2023, a day that symbolizes Independence and Liberty.
In early 2024, The Liberati achieved 501(c)(3) status as a public nonprofit charity. Despite being entirely volunteer-run with limited resources, your generosity has enabled us to make a real difference. Since 2023, we have provided over $10,000 in financial aid, offering tangible, material support to eight individuals in need. Beyond financial assistance, our impact extends globally—hundreds of people from dozens of countries benefit from our monthly group discussions and in-person meetups, fostering peer support and community. In late 2024, we welcomed Lily to our Board as Head of Program Development. Her expertise and dedication will be invaluable in expanding our mission and strengthening the support we provide. We are deeply grateful for her contributions and excited for what’s ahead.
While a few of our founding members, Anne, Daniel and Jenny, are not currently on the Board, their dedication was instrumental in transforming this grassroots movement into a reality. We are forever grateful for their invaluable contributions and their legacy and spirit lives on at The Liberati.
