About Us
The evolution of a movement: from Dwarfs United to a global coalition fighting for dignity, equality, and justice.
Our Story
The Dwarves and The Blacks emerged from a recognition that marginalized communities share common struggles in the digital age. What began as Dwarfs United, a grassroots organization advocating for people with dwarfism, has evolved into a broader coalition that brings together multiple communities facing discrimination online.
Our expansion came from listening. As we advocated for fair representation and dignified treatment of people with dwarfism, we heard from Black community members facing similar challenges in digital spaces. We recognized that our fights were interconnected—both communities faced harmful stereotypes, exclusionary practices, and exploitation by platforms prioritizing profit over people.
In forming our coalition, we discovered strength in numbers and solidarity. Our merged organization now represents a powerful voice that platforms and corporations cannot easily ignore. Together, we amplify each other's concerns and work toward systemic change that benefits all marginalized communities.
Today, The Dwarves and The Blacks operates internationally, with supporters, partners, and advocates across multiple continents. Our grassroots origins remain central to our identity—we are powered by community voices, not corporate interests.
Our Mission
To confront discrimination, harmful narratives, and unethical practices that disproportionately affect marginalized communities in digital and commercial spaces—advocating for human rights, ethical standards, accountability, and meaningful representation.
Our Vision
A digital world where every person—regardless of race, physical characteristics, or background—is treated with dignity and respect. Where platforms operate transparently and ethically. Where marginalized voices are heard and valued.
Our Belief
We believe that the fight for digital rights is inseparable from the broader human rights movement. Online platforms have real-world impacts, and their practices must be held to the same ethical standards we demand in physical spaces.
Who We Represent
Our coalition brings together diverse communities united by shared experiences of discrimination and a common vision for change.
Black Communities
Black individuals and communities worldwide who face discrimination, harmful stereotypes, and exclusionary practices in online entertainment, gambling platforms, and digital spaces. We advocate for fair treatment, accurate representation, and an end to practices that disproportionately harm Black users.
People with Dwarfism
Individuals with dwarfism who have long faced mockery, objectification, and exclusion in media and online platforms. Building on the legacy of Dwarfs United, we continue to fight for dignity, accurate representation, and protection from exploitative practices that treat people as entertainment.
Allied Communities
We stand in solidarity with all marginalized groups facing discrimination in digital spaces. Our coalition welcomes partnerships with disability rights advocates, racial justice organizations, and any community working toward digital equity and ethical treatment online.
Digital Rights Advocates
Anyone who believes that digital platforms should operate ethically and treat all users fairly. Our movement includes researchers, activists, concerned citizens, and industry professionals committed to creating a more just digital world.
Our Approach
We combine grassroots organizing with strategic advocacy to create lasting change.
Grassroots Activism
Our strength comes from our communities. We organize at the local level, building networks of engaged advocates who share their stories and experiences to demonstrate the real-world impact of discriminatory practices.
Online Visibility Campaigns
We leverage social media and digital platforms to amplify our message, share educational content, and build public awareness about the issues affecting our communities. Our campaigns reach millions and spark important conversations.
Strategic Protests
When companies refuse to engage constructively, we organize targeted protests—both physical and digital—that draw attention to their practices and create pressure for change. Our protests are peaceful, focused, and effective.
Coalition Building
We actively seek partnerships with other advocacy groups, academic institutions, and aligned organizations. By building broad coalitions, we amplify our impact and create a unified front for digital rights and human dignity.
International Advocacy
Digital platforms operate globally, so our advocacy must too. We work across borders, connecting with international human rights organizations and engaging with regulatory bodies to push for industry-wide ethical standards.
