On the Margins

Our Mission Our mission is to collaborate with others to design and implement anti-racist, joy-focused, sustainable, and affirming practices. We strive to do our work with love, commitment, political action, and freedom dreaming. Our Commitment Our commitment is inspired by Fannie Lou Hamer's freedom teachings. We believe that "Nobody's free until everybody's free." Our work seeks to amplify community care, cultural wealth, and resilience in bold and politicized ways. Understanding that marginalized communities are under assault, we are trying to disrupt systems of oppression in academic, clinical, health systems, and political spaces. Our Team We are a group of health professionals, artists, researchers, and consultants who are working with others to dismantle white-supremacist, heteropatriarchal, cisnormative, mono-normative, and colonial practices as they exist within the classroom, healthcare system, research lab, and larger community. We are inspired by BIPOC scholars, feminists, freedom fighters, community organizers, and abolitionists. Grounded in their teachings, our aim is to support transformative justice and healing justice efforts. We work with those looking to pay attention to and change, through bold and sustainable action, the structures and systems of power that contribute to the traumatic experiences and dehumanization of communities on the margins of society.
