A quick thought

Big goals for 2023

The Freedom Haven project has taken on the incredible challenge of creating the first permanent pro-freedom settlement on the high seas, outside the jurisdiction of existing nations. While the technology and laws we need to create Freedom Haven already exist, overcoming our natural fear of the new and different is no small task. Future children who grow up on floating cities on the high seas may never fully understand the courage and faith it will have taken for us to tap into this new freedom-rich frontier on the high seas beyond the jurisdiction of existing nations.

We need your help to find courageous, freedom-loving people to build Freedom Haven. Without enough residents, we will not have the critical mass needed for the colony to thrive.

The Freedom Haven project has 4 phases. We are currently in Phase 2 (the “exploratory campaign”), where we prove there’s enough world interest in the project to justify pushing it forward. So far, each year we have doubled the number of our supporters and have expanded the world’s awareness of the Freedom Haven project. If we continue as we have begun, Phase 2 will be complete by 2026. That means finding 400 like-minded pioneers in 2023 to join our cause and donate $5 each.
