About
Project South’s mission is to eliminate poverty and genocide by building strong social movements for power rooted in Black Radical Traditions.
Project South is a Southern-based leadership development organization that creates spaces for movement building. We work with communities pushed forward by the struggle to strengthen leadership and to provide popular, political, and economic education for personal and social transformation. We build relationships with organizations and networks across the US and global South to inform our local work and to engage in bottom-up movement building for social and economic justice.
