Project South was founded as the Institute to Eliminate Poverty & Genocide in 1986. Our work is rooted in the legacy of the Southern Freedom Movement, and four primary work areas achieve our mission of cultivating strong social movements in the South powerful enough to contend with some of the most pressing and complicated social, economic, and political problems we face today.

• EDUCATION
• LOCAL & REGIONAL ORGANIZING
• LEGAL & ADVOCACY
• MOVEMENT SUPPORT

For over thirty years, Project South has grown to become a trusted movement anchor organization for social justice work in the U.S. South. Recognized for the production of popular education tools, curriculum, and workshops that support grassroots organizers, educators, and activists, Project South also affects policy at the municipal level, produces reports and analysis that impact decision-makers, innovates organizing methodologies, and provides an institutional hub for organizers to develop shared regional plans that match the urgency of this political moment while building long-term infrastructure.
