“OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Southern Movement AssemblyThe Southern Movement Assembly is a collaborative project that is part of our Regional Organizing. The SMA is a multiracial, multi-issue, multigenerational movement constellation of grassroots organizations across the U.S. South that practices democratic governance, coordinates shared actions, and convenes peoples movement assemblies (PMAs) of frontline communities to grow bottom-up power and build infrastructure for long-term liberation. A governance council ofanchor organizations meets weekly; monthly calls inform and connect hundreds of members across the region; and regular people's movement assemblies develop shared platforms and action plans. Annual action plans advance regional efforts to dismantle systems of exploitation and build movement infrastructure. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Legal & AdvocacyProject Souths legal and advocacy work provides direct consultation, representation, training, and legal field development to support vulnerable communities facing discrimination, legislative marginalization, and repression including immigrants and migrants without documentation, refugees, Muslim communities, and Black young people. The Legal & Advocacy arm of Project South connects legal and advocacy work and movement lawyers with grassroots organizations, focused on immigrants rights and defending Muslim communities. Through meaningful partnerships with universities, law schools, law firms, and organizations with legal strategies, Project South grows the legal infrastructure for social justice in the South.
