ABOUT US
Inclusive Future Magazine is an anthology project started in Portland, Oregon. Its goal is to provide a peek into a future in which everyone is welcome, and to provide hope in such dark times. We believe that it's easier to build a better future when we have an idea of what it looks like, and we believe that it's important for people who have been traditionally marginalized to have an active role in creating that future.
For that reason, these anthologies are by, about, and for marginalized people.Further, this anthology gives us a chance to invite those who want to do better at including people of all identities in their thinking and speech to share this vision with us.
