First the South, then the Nation

We are starting a movement in the South that will inspire change nationwide. Throughout history, the South has been a place of resilience, strength and transformation. Our mission begins here. When we empower communities, we lay the groundwork for a national movement that uplifts all people and drives meaningful progress for future generations. Join us as we create a future where justice, equality and opportunity are available to all.
