Who We Are

Share this

The Mid-South Peace and Justice Center is a membership-based organization dedicated to organizing, strategizing and acting to educate and train new community leaders to drive campaigns of their own for racial, economic, environmental and social justice. We work to build the capacity of disenfranchised communities to organize movements that shift power and dismantle oppression.

Founded in 1982, we have always sought to build a  movement, led by people directly affected by injustice, that can fundamentally shift power from corporate board rooms and government committees to our communities. We work with and are led by grassroots leaders from the low-income communities of color most impacted by these issues. Coalition partnerships range from other grassroots organizing groups to advocacy organizations, labor organizations, local governments, neighborhood groups, churches and intergovernmental organizations and committees.
