Cultivating Excellence and Empowerment for Communities in the South.
Demo Lab South
We are a movement and an incubation hub that builds power, strategy, and infrastructure with and for multiracial, interfaith communities. We do this by supporting community-based projects and organizations throughout the US South. Through this work, we envision a Southern movement ecosystem where leadership and brilliance thrive.
OUR GOAL IS TO BUILD MOVEMENT POWER IN FOUR AREAS
-
The ability to develop, maintain, and leverage relationships with people and institutions with access to critical social, cultural, or financial resources.
-
The ability to shape and sustain shared stories and belief systems while minimizing outside influence.
-
The ability to generate, activate, and maintain widespread community support
-
The ability to influence decision-making.
Our organization is driven to make a tangible impact in communities across the US South. We collaborate with our partners to reinforce Southern movement infrastructure by identifying key needs and gaps, and providing support in the following ways:
Facilitating connections for grassroots mentorship and collective learning.
Offering sub-grants and resource supplementation.
Providing coaching, training, and technical assistance.
