While building community, we will shape organizing opportunities, interrogate the necessary role of 501 c3 and c4 entities, and ultimately cultivate multi and cross-state organizing and solidarity efforts.<\/p><p>We are building on the rich lessons of movement building and power building in the South. Our purpose is to develop concrete strategies for shared advocacy and solidarity across states; to promote grassroots and political support for public policies that advance economic, environmental, racial, and social justice across the South.
