alliance of community, labor,
and faith organizations that
promote economic justice and
smart growth strategies
through research, education,
and advocacy.
Working to empower communities to address their growing needs, Stand-Up builds civic capacity and leadership from within neighborhoods and communities so that those leaders can take an active role in shaping how their neighborhoods change and develop. In order to fulfill its mission,
Georgia Stand-Up has four programmatic initiatives.
These programs are:
- Our Alliance & Community Organizing
- Grassroots Leadership Education
- Research & Policy Analysis
- Campaigns for Community Benefits
Through these programs, members of our alliance gain not only an understanding of the tools that governments and private entities use in changing and developing neighborhoods, but also they gain the skills to be active partners in shaping the way that those changes occur. We are a "Think and Act Tank for Working Communities."
