150+ Organizations. One Movement.
Southern Sector Rising has never fought alone. Our strength comes from a deep coalition of aligned organizations at all levels who believe that justice is indivisible.
How We Organize
Power Comes From
Deep Coalitions
We don’t work alone. The power behind Southern Sector Rising comes from the relationships we’ve built with over 150 organizations who share our values and our vision.
From Dallas neighborhood groups to national environmental justice networks, from labor unions to international climate delegations, our coalition reflects the breadth of the fight for a just, equitable, and livable world.
We operate on the Jemez Principles of Democratic Organizing Justice, which means every partner relationship is grounded in respect, transparency, and a commitment to centering the most impacted communities.
Our Coalition Is Built On:
- Centering frontline and BIPOC communities
- Jemez Principles of Democratic Organizing
- Intersectional, multi-issue approach
- Cross-sector and cross-border solidarity
- Power with, not power over

“Southern Sector Rising exemplifies the kind of intersectional, community-led organizing that the environmental justice movement needs. Their work connects the dots between local harms and global systems of oppression.”
“We've been proud to stand alongside SSR in the fight for clean air and water in Southern Dallas. Dr. Jackson's leadership reminds us that frontline communities are more than helpless victims. Oftentimes, community members serve as leaders of the movement's voice.”
