C r e a t i n g T o g e t h e r
Over-Drawn Media is an truly innovative start-up NGO from the grass roots. We uses the systemic reclamation model (developed by founder Lil 6), a synthesis of the best management tools and methods from the business, non-profit and grassroots worlds. Over-Drawn's core is made up of disenfranchised creatives seeking a place to learn to market and use our talents to make our communities and the world better places to live. What we have created is a better model than anything currently in play.
Our founders are survivors of major trauma reclaiming our lives from memories of abuse, neglect and growing up in war torn communities. Some might use this fact as a plea for sympathy, no, it is a statement of strength. "while the pain of growing up in a war zone took from me everything I was, taking back that humanity has made me stronger than I ever could have been otherwise and given me a perspective broader than I could have gained." Lil 6.
In the traditions of whole health Over-Drawn believes that for us to best create beauty our basic needs and rights must be met and respected. Therefore we ally ourselves with groups to end the disparity that created the strife that put us in these positions in the first place and the underlying contradictions that keep that disparity in place.

Over-Drawn's Community Impact
Over-Drawn is joining with Power (Parents Organizing for Welfare
and Economic Rights to help building a benefits campaign. Through
the campaign Over-Drawn will help fill needs and alleviate suffering
while demanding those in control of needed resources, and who
hold the ability to create needed community programs to do so
Our Promise
Over-Drawn is not for profit free association that is different in several ways.
​
- Accessibility
Over-Drawn seek to eliminate the gap between consumer, and creator the two are indistinguishable from each other.
For that purpose our focus is first to enable fan creators from all walks of life to write their own and works, fanfiction and to be invited in various ways by current contributors to participate in works of cannon.
- Inclusion
In the words of founding participant Lil 6 "Over-Drawn is exclusively inclusive. Meaning that only those who wish to exclude others for who they are will ever be excluded. This done by seeking talent from all walks of life. Great artists, writers, and musicians live in the streets of every city in the world. Going unseen, unheard, and disenfranchised, Over-Drawn was created by and for outcasts but it is not required. We believe that what we have to offer can be so much better than what other 'giants' are giving all are invited all who can act within the parameters set out in our founding principles, either by contacting them directly or by the implied invitation herein.
- A holistic approach to all things.
We are best enabled to create beauty when we are happy in our lives and feel connected to those around us in love and kinship. Therefore we stand in solidarity with the efforts of anyone anywhere who lack the basic rights and access to resources all should have.
- Our plan for the future is not dependent on quick success, nor would it be incapable of taking advantage of the current trends in the creative landscape of our culture on a regional, national, and eventually international level.
