When 1776 Patriots were fighting naked in the snow for American Freedom, the didn’t do it for our right to consume. They did it for a higher purpose. “Freedom isn’t Free” is a talk about a new American Responsiblity Movement. With all our rights, what are our responsibilities? Tom Schaff, Chairman of the Board for the Statue of Responsibility Foundation (SORfoundation.org), will share controversial thoughts on what responsibility really is, invite all of you to care deeply, and show you how you can get involved in a movement to once again make responsibility a core value in the world. Along the way, he’ll share a vision of a proposed Statue of Responsibility off of west coast, which will balance the Statue of Liberty off the west coast. If we all don’t get more responsible and change our world, who will? Won’t you join us for a conversation, debate, oral brawl on a topic certain to make many crazy?
