More Free 2020 | Civic Participation

MORE FREE 2020

A little more joy. A little more action. A little more free.

Launched during one of the most uncertain years in recent memory, More Free was a community movement built around a simple idea: participation should feel hopeful.

Through creative campaigns, neighborhood activations, mutual aid, and a pop-up storefront “voter resource” community hub, we encouraged people to connect, contribute, and take action together. Along the way, we helped hundreds get registered to vote, launched Cincinnati's first free fridge and created a platform that blended civic engagement with creativity, generosity, and joy.

Areas of Practice
Civic Innovation • Experience Design • Public Life • Storytelling
