Dear Friend, This is a critical moment for the South — and for our democracy. Across the South, anti-democratic forces are moving fast. They are coordinated. They are well-funded. And they are working to silence voices for change. In moments like this, Southern communities and movements need trusted reporting. Clear analysis. Historical context. Facts that cut through disinformation and hold the powerful accountable. That's the role the Institute for Southern Studies plays — and why your support is so urgent. Will you donate today to support the Institute's powerful voice for change? | |
The Institute was founded by civil rights veterans who understood a core truth: exposing injustice is essential to winning lasting change. For more than five decades, we've helped shine a light on abuses of power and provided movements across the South with the facts they need to organize, advocate — and win. But this work only continues with your support. Please make a tax-deductible gift today and help power fearless journalism and a voice for change in the South when it matters most. With gratitude,  Chris Kromm, Executive Director and Publisher | |
