Knowledge is not the privilege nor domain of the powerful few but a right of all people. We envision education as a vehicle for social movement development, rather than a commodity to be bought, sold, or corrupted. People construct and carry knowledge in multiple ways. Emancipatory education is informed by the wisdom of our communities to which we are accountable and ensures continuity of histories, cultural traditions and legacies.
In order to achieve social and political impact for systemic change, our education systems will collectively create a cohesive analysis of the past, present and future in order to direct and solidify social movement development. We envision education as a collective leadership development process between and among generations.

Anchor Organization

Project South’s (PS) organizational mission is to work with communities pushed forward by the struggle – to strengthen leadership and to provide popular political and economic education for personal & social transformation.

PS’s values are rooted in its historical political assumptions:

–Economy with Justice : Coming out of the Black Radical Tradition in the U.S. South, we support the liberation of working and under/unemployed communities over Ruling Class Oppression.
–Black Liberation and the Liberation of all oppressed people : Our historical memory of the anti-colonial, anti-slavery roots of Black led liberation movements in the South, who at their strongest moments confronted white supremacy directly.

–Gender Liberation: Binary gender assumptions are fundamental to imperialism, colonialism, and social control. The decolonization of gender identity, roles, expression, and sexual orientation is critical to building collective power and reclaiming body sovereignty.

–Youth-led Organizing Committed to the liberation of youth, we are dedicated to fighting adultism in culturally respectful and politically radical ways.

–Regional Movement Building : Rooted in decolonization & collective, community-based self determination, Project South builds liberated governance and spaces for transformative work.
