Southern People’s Initiatives

As hostility and violence intensifies in all our communities, from climate disaster and deportations to police killings and generational poverty, Southern movements are rising. Organizations are coordinating across borders and beyond single issues to demand justice and to build a better world.

In the South, it’s not just about a confederate flag. The Southern People’s Initiatives confront the historic realities of poverty and racism that manifest today in destructive policies, widespread voter suppression, and a dangerous social climate.

It will take a people’s movement to dismantle injustice and build a new economy, a true democracy, and protected communities.

We invite you to participate in the Southern Movement Assembly and connect your powerful work to the Southern People’s Initiatives in 2016.

We are stronger together.
