Narratives and perspectives of people in the South engaged in collective action to shift power and create change.
The Moment
Learning for Justice and the Power of Place
Learning for Justice is a community education program of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) that cultivates and nurtures dialogue, learning, reflection and action from those most proximate to and impacted by injustices in the South. By centering learning to inform action for liberation and justice, LFJ will complement the SPLC’s work to increase power and capacity for multiracial, inclusive democracy.
As LFJ repositions itself to be more responsive to the communities we serve in our Deep South states, our resources and strategies focused on building capacity in the South will also support the national movement for racial justice and equality. In our work with community members, we recognize educators as being in communities. We invite educators to remain a vital part of the larger dialogue and learning, which is critical to building a more inclusive democracy.
To deepen conversation on the struggle for justice in the South, we offer a new resource page of narratives from people in the South engaged in collective action to shift power and create change.
