In the United States, division and hostility among those in poverty highlight persistent social and economic inequalities. This struggle for limited resources fosters an environment of anger, mistrust, competition, and resentment, hindering collective progress and prolonging the cycle of poverty. These divisions make it difficult for people to unite in spiritual community and advocate for systemic change. The Emancipation Fellowship Ministries (EFM) seeks to address these divisions and foster solidarity for a just and equitable future. EFM is partnering with various organizations in Memphis, Tennessee, to tackle social crises in one of the nation's poorest cities. The goal is to develop a comprehensively spiritually based strategy in Memphis, involving a multifaceted approach focused on building trust, understanding the community, and coming up with creative alternatives for the poorest zip code in the nation of a city its size.
