Building political power for the Black South to improve health outcomes and promote healing.
The mission of Black South Rising is to build political power for the Black South to end inequities and social disparities.
What we do
Building a political home for “thought leadership,” civic engagement; education; policy advocacy; leadership development and reimagining our future.
Promoting healing and well-being of the Black South through traditional cultural beliefs and practices.
Facilitating a network or “table” of southern organizations and individuals to achieve a “it takes a village approach,” to increase access to resources, systems change, knowledge sharing, and power building.
Mobilizing and coalition work to organize and base building.
“We have risen. We know what we must do to secure our rights as human beings and citizens of this country, and we will resist every attempt from those who seek to deny us.”
