Highlander serves as a catalyst for grassroots organizing and movement building in Appalachia and the South.
We develop leadership and help create and support strong, democratic organizations that work for justice, equality and sustainability in their own communities and that join with others to build broad movements for social, economic and restorative environmental change..
Through popular education, participatory research, and cultural work, we help create spaces -- at Highlander and in local communities -- where people gain knowledge, hope and courage, expanding their ideas of what is possible.
We work with people fighting for justice, equality and sustainability, supporting their efforts to take collective action to shape their own destiny.
