Highlander Research and Education Center, located in New Market, TN, has been a catalyst for grassroots organizing and movement building in Appalachia and the South since 1932. They work with individuals fighting for justice, equality, and sustainability, supporting collective action efforts to shape their own destinies.
Centered on the experiences of directly-impacted people in the region, Highlander's workshops and programming bring together diverse groups to share skills, knowledge, and strategies for transformative social change. Their work has strengthened movement infrastructure, advancing labor, civil rights, and justice organizing efforts across decades, while currently focusing on building leadership, supporting solidarity economies, and incubating radical grassroots work.
