What is Ember Collective?

Ember Collective is not just a community; it’s a movement.

We provide a secure and vetted space for individuals who recognize the dangers of rising authoritarianism and choose not to remain passive. Whether you’re seeking ways to organize, resist, educate, or find solidarity, this is where action meets refuge.

The world can feel overwhelming at times. You may feel exhausted witnessing the erosion of democracy or realize how little power everyday people seem to have. You're not alone in these feelings. Ember Collective is here to equip, support, and mobilize those who recognize these challenges and want to take action.

Why We Exist

 The current political climate is intensifying. Censorship, surveillance, the erosion of rights, and the suppression of dissent are occurring in real-time.

We focus on:

• Organizing & Resistance:

  • We strategize how to push back against policies that harm marginalized communities, workers, and democracy itself.

• Privacy & Digital Security:

  • We educate members on minimizing their digital footprint and protecting themselves online.

• Community & Support:

  • We provide a secure refuge where you can express your thoughts, connect, and find people who understand your struggles. Many members seek a safe place to communicate and form connections after feeling isolated from family and friends. This space allows individuals to meet others and build a chosen family.

• Survival & Mutual Aid:

  • We believe in self-sufficiency, community care, and preparation for uncertainty.

What’s Inside?

Our secure server is organized into various spaces and channels tailored to your interests and concerns, including:

• News & Strategy:

  • Stay informed, analyze political developments, and plan countermeasures.

• Prepping & Survival:

  • Learn about urban survival, homesteading, and community preparedness.

• Mutual Market & Resource Hub:

… and many more.
