Project South (organization)
Project South: Institute for the Elimination of Poverty and Genocide (or Project South) is a non-profit organization based in Atlanta, Georgia that incorporates sociological research into education and organizing projects. Project South focuses on developing activist strategies in response to social issues in the Southern region of the United States. The organization was founded in 1986 by Jerome Scott and Walda Katz-Fishman.
According to Project South,
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.
Project South focuses on a four-pronged strategy to engage targeted communities: popular education, leadership development, partnerships and alliances, and organizing.
Project South's activities consist of education and research, local organizing, regional organizing, and national projects, many of which are collaborations with other activist organizations.
Project South has created several initiatives focused on educating people on how to organize and form activist movements, and researching the current social climate in the United States.
Project South holds monthly BAM retreats in Atlanta to train and educate community members who wish to get involved with and learn about the organization and general movement building. In addition to the monthly retreats, Project South holds BAM Institutes, year-long programs consisting of multiple sessions designed around a curriculum meant to facilitate a more in depth knowledge of education and movement building strategies.
The University Sin Fronteras was formed in 2010 as a collaboration between Project South and the Southwest Workers Union. According to Project South, the University Sin Fronteras is "a public and accessible space for education that advances systemic social change." The organization works to educate and connect youth interested in social activism with more experienced community organizers.
