Labor South builds power for collective action by promoting the voices of those often left out of leadership roles - young workers, immigrants, and workers in rural areas. It informs current organizing campaigns with pivotal and often overlooked Southern labor history and deepens the leadership and organizing skills of young workers to build multi-racial worker unity in the US South. www.laborsouth.org
