Elizabeth was so great to deal with. She listened to what I was looking for, answered my questions and provided an extremely detailed report that allowed me to understand my options so much better and also gave me new options to consider. She helped me to consider the best path forward and what my next steps should be so that it became so much less overwhelming. I can't recommend working with her enough!

What is Conscientious Emigration?™️

Exactly what it sounds like.

In January 2024, SCS began offering support services for people who want to leave the US - primarily due to feeling targeted due to their identities - emigrate from the country with a conscientious approach to their impacts on their new homes.

Borne of our personal ethics around equity and environmental conservation and rooted in the experience of emigrating from the US to Mexico in 2022, “Conscientious Emigration” seeks to avoid the colonial approaches that often characterize “expat” services and to balance impact with contribution.

Elizabeth also brings her skills as a lawyer, a policy analyst, and a storyteller to produce content about emigration that is pragmatic, accurate, honest, and hopefully, funny.

From deciding where to move and how much money to save, to figuring out what tasks should be prioritized and creating a plan, international relocation is a lot of work.

Many people who dream about moving out of the US stop before they even get started.

The tasks feel overwhelming.

The decisions feel too hard.

Inertia takes over.

The dream evaporates into a memory.

And it just never happens.
That doesn’t have to be your story.

Why Conscientious Emigration?

Generally speaking, people from the US have earned a poor reputation for our interactions and impacts abroad. Emigrating conscientiously is consistent with SCS’s values, and we aim to assist future emigrants who are committed to showing up in the world with respect, consideration, a sense of social responsibility, and an ethic of integrity.

SCS will work with any paying client who is committed to emigrating with their behavioral, economic, environmental, and cultural impacts on their new home in mind. We do not discriminate based on race, gender, class, sexuality, religion, age, ability or other markers of identity, but may give preference to those who feel unsafe in the US due identity-based discrimination.

Who Is Conscientious Emigration™️ right for?

**At this time, we are only working with clients seeking to emigrate using US passports.**
