POOR Magazine

POOR Magazine is a poor people led/indigenous people led, grassroots non-profit,arts organization dedicated to providing revolutionary media access, art, education and advocacy to silenced youth, adults and elders in poverty across the globe. 
All of POOR's programs are focused on providing non-colonizing, community-based and community-led media, art and education with the goals of creating access for silenced voices, preserving and degentrifying rooted communities of color and re-framing the debate on poverty, landlessness, indigenous resistance, disability and race locally and globally. 

POOR Magazine, the publication arts and education project, was started in 1996 by an indigenous, landless mother and daughter who struggled with extreme poverty, incarceration and criminalization in the US. POOR Magazine, the organization, is a poor people led/indigenous people led non-profit, grassroots, arts organization dedicated to providing revolutionary media access, arts, education and solutions from youth, adults and elders in poverty across Pachamama.
Homefulness is a poor people-led solution to Homelessness, created, built and manifested by indigenous, displaced, and houseless mamaz, uncles and elders.

Corrupted the truth

Journalism coming back to the streets
Where it all began
No more running for degrees

Some weren't fooled
By the Philanthro-pimps
and Institutional SkoolZ
Last Poets,
Po'Poets,

Change wont come from a savior, a pimp or an institution
Change will only come 
from our own poor peoples led revolution
