Embrace the Margins (ETM) is hope-core. We’ve decided to highlight a collective problem and bring it to the attention of anyone that will listen. Once we catch our neighbors’ attention, our goal is to remind them why we should care about the livelihoods of one another, and invite them to solve it collectively with whoever else is willing. The value and richness that comes from a diversity of life experiences is a gift that shouldn’t be easily forfeited; and it’s one that ETM plans to utilize as a driving force of hope and change.

We’re relentlessly committed to driving connection, trust, and reliability between people and their neighbors (including more than just their peers). By providing a network of shared resources, experiences, and responsibilities, the successful reintroduction of community reliance will lead to increased quality of life for all that participate.

We proudly approach uncomfortable, yet pivotal topics and dissect them to adequately reintroduce them to our neighbors, tailored to our goal of large-scale communal discussion that drives real change in our communities.

We prioritize stability and a peaceful quality of life for our neighbors by promoting intentionality around gratitude, joy, & emotional stability, paired with informal guidance through “Hubris Deconstruction,” a recurring theme centered by the organization meant to address a sneaky and dangerous threat to our mission: EGO.
