THE MARGIN
The Margin is a non-profit publication and an independent project at Counterstream that centers the people and places most affected by environmental injustice in the United States.
The Margin’s stories expose the ongoing cycle of unjust actions that intentionally push the poor and people of color to the edge of society while driving our planet to the brink of collapse.
Founded by Bryce Cracknell, a writer, filmmaker, and activist, The Margin has been recognized by The Nation magazine and earned two Anthem Awards in Sustainability, Environment & Climate.
