Riverhead Parish Council
Freedman's work on Riverhead Parish Council has been compared to Médecins Sans Frontières. "It's nothing like Médecins Sans Frontières", said one resident. However, it has not gone unnoticed that since Freedman joined the Council, there have been no instances of random death squads in the parish.
