Our Alliance & Community Organizing

Our unique alliance is comprised of leaders from community, labor, faith-based and academic organizations in metropolitan Atlanta who are building a shared vision of what social and economic justice will look like across all sectors of our community and economy. Over one hundred organizations and individuals have joined the Georgia Stand-Up Alliance since October of 2005, and every month Georgia Stand-Up brings together these individuals to share information, develop a shared list of community benefits principles and to strategize around opportunities for change around Atlanta and the metropolitan region.

Alliance meetings take place on the third or fourth Friday of every month from noon-2pm at the IBEW Auditorium.

To get more information about upcoming meetings sign up for our e-mail alerts, or contact us.

Atlanta Housing Association of Neighborhood Based Developers (AHAND)

Georgia Stand-Up will soon launch its Community Organizing 101 workshop, which will translate traditional labor organizing skills into a community framework that leaders can utilize in their own neighborhoods and communities. Stand-Up will then work with these leaders to design door-to-door canvasses and voter registration drives in several targeted neighborhoods for the purpose of gaining further knowledge about community issues and needs at the grassroots level.
