Mission & Values
We are proudly antifascist and unapologetically progressive. However, in this moment, amid a growing class struggle, political regression, and attacks on basic freedoms, we understand that the fight for democracy requires a broad, united front.
You don’t have to agree with us on everything. If you see what’s happening and refuse to stay silent, you’re welcome here.
We believe:
What we’re witnessing is a betrayal of the Constitution
Checks and balances are being dismantled
Political extremism is undermining truth, justice, and community
That’s the line. And we stand on the side of dignity, equity, and democracy.
How We Operate
Ember Collective is not a hierarchy.
Admins and moderators are caretakers of this space, not leaders. Their role is to uphold shared standards and facilitate respectful participation.
We make decisions through collaborative discussion and consensus, inviting member input on significant changes. We trust each other to shape this space together.
We support democracy, not authoritarianism or chaos.
While some members may hold anti-authoritarian views, Ember Collective is not an anarchist group; we aim to protect and expand democratic rights and public institutions.
Our focus is on building capacity, not dependency.
Core Principles
Respect is non-negotiable.
Use people’s chosen names and pronouns. Don’t preach. Don’t generalize entire groups.
No harassment, threats, or abuse—online or off.
No purity tests.
We value accountability over cancellation. Growth requires honesty, not perfection.
No conspiracy, disinfo, or bigotry.
This isn’t the place for denialism, scapegoating, or culture war bait.
Everyone contributes.
No one is here to be tokenized. No one is erased.
What We Stand For
🧠 Bodily Autonomy
No government or religion should control your body, your healthcare, or your relationships.
💼 Fair Work & Economic Justice
We advocate for robust labor protections, union rights, and an economy designed for people—not for billionaires.
🌍 People Over Profit
We oppose deregulation that benefits corporations while harming communities. We advocate for co-ops, mutual aid, and community-centered economies.
🏠 Housing Is a Right
We stand against corporate landlords and housing hoarding. Everyone deserves safe, affordable shelter.
📚 Honest Education
We resist efforts to erase history, censor teachers, or push propaganda in schools. Education should foster truth and critical thought.
🛡 Right to Protest
We oppose the use of police, military, or intelligence agencies to silence dissent. We defend civil liberties.
🚨 End State Violence
We challenge the federalization of policing and the targeting of marginalized communities. We support community safety and real accountability.
🌈 Protection for Marginalized Groups
We fight anti-LGBTQIA+ policies, criminalization of poverty, and systemic racism in law and sentencing.
🗳 Free & Fair Elections
We demand voting rights, an end to gerrymandering, and true representative governance.
The Future We’re Building
We fight for a society where:
Land, food, housing, healthcare, and education are guaranteed
Democracy is functional, protected, and inclusive
No one is discarded or dehumanized for being different
Power is decentralized and accountable
Project 2025 and its backers want control.
We want collective liberation.
We will resist, organize, and build the future they fear—one based on justice, dignity, and true democracy.
