Highlander Research & Education Center

Empowering Grassroots Movements

Highlander Research & Education Center has been a beacon of hope and empowerment since 1932, serving as a catalyst for grassroots organizing and movement building in Appalachia and the South. By centering the experiences of directly-impacted individuals, Highlander fosters collective action and transformative social change.

Impacting Communities for Generations

Highlander has played a pivotal role in advancing labor movements, the Civil Rights Movement, and ongoing efforts for environmental, economic, and racial justice. Today, it strengthens the leadership of youth, LGBTQ+, and Black and Brown organizers, promoting solidarity economies to dismantle oppressive systems.
