The Magpie is more than a blog: it is a resource center for everyone who wants to change our world for the better. We prioritize the voices that mainstream society represses to create a repository of human experience.
Our Mission, Vision & Values
Through self-expression and community organizing, we will dismantle the toxic systems of colonialism and patriarchy.
We confront struggles head-on to overcome them.
- Writing can be anything, including rebellion.
- While other visual mediums are necessary, so is writing.
- We prioritize amplifying the voices of systemically marginalized communities.
- Organizing to dismantle white supremacy and colonialism in the United States must always start from a lens of antiracism with a background understanding of anti-Blackness.
- Global advocacy to dismantle white supremacy requires all of us to work together, with white people taking the lead.
- Every human is valid and worthy of love, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, immigration status, faith, or disability status.
- Looking at justice through a lens of intersectionality is vital to dismantling all current systems of oppression.
- Civilizations rise and fall, but history is forever.
- Through community building, education, and accountability, we can hold government and law enforcement systems accountable to the community.
- Through these deliberate actions, we can also create support networks that will uplift and sustain local communities.
- You cannot understand federal politics without local politics, and you cannot make national change without local change (vice versa). Through our roots in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, we provide a slice of local activism and politics that we all experience in our daily lives.
- While having 501(c)3 status from the IRS gives nonprofits certain benefits, it also helps to uphold the systems of oppression that we are trying to combat.
- We therefore prioritize remaining extra vigilant that we are remaining accountable to the communities which we serve, not the funders we seek money from.
- Care for yourself like you care for the work.
- WE ARE A SAFE SPACE FOR ALL COMMUNITIES MARGINALIZED BY WHITE SUPREMACIST SYSTEM.
- This is also a safe space for white/privileged people to process their growing pains in a healthy, constructive way.
- This is NOT a safe space for white/privileged people to complain about needing to be anti-racist.
- Respect our values and apply them to others.
- Always assume good intent.
