POOR Magazine is a grassroots non-profit organization based in Oakland, CA, dedicated to providing revolutionary media access, art, education, and advocacy to marginalized individuals and communities in poverty across the globe. Led by indigenous and poor people, their programs focus on creating non-colonizing, community-based media, art, and education to amplify silenced voices, preserve rooted communities of color, and challenge the narratives around poverty, landlessness, indigenous resistance, disability, and race.
With a history dating back to 1996, POOR Magazine was founded by an indigenous, landless mother and daughter who experienced extreme poverty, incarceration, and criminalization in the United States. Through their publication, arts projects, and educational initiatives, POOR Magazine aims to empower and uplift individuals living in poverty, while reframing the discourse on social issues locally and globally.
