Shingle Mountain and Floral Farms’ fight against environmental injustice is a story in which victims become advocates and take control of their own narrative. But the story is not over and you can write the next chapter with us. Here is how:
1. Write to Mayor Eric Johnson and the Dallas City Council for continued, URGENT effort to remove Shingle Mountain.
2. Check out the Neighborhood Self Defense Project and the latest plans for Floral Farms.
3. Donate to Southern Sector Rising and funds will go toward the continued effort to remove and replace Shingle Mountain.
About Us
Southern Sector Rising seeks to offer the marginalized residents of Dallas health equity by ending decades of racist zoning, forcing industrial polluters out of predominantly Black and Brown residential neighborhoods, and by more evenly distributing the pollution burdens of our city.

Collaborate
We understand the words of Audre Lorde to be true: “There is no such thing as a single-issue struggle, because we don’t live single-issue lives.” Environmental racism is just one strand of a braid, and ending systemic oppression is only possible by confronting it as a united force.
