In the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) is renewing its commitment to bring about the promise of “one nation, under God, indivisible” together with the commitment to activate the “strength to love” within the community of humankind.
ORGANIZATION FOCUS
The organizational focus of the
Southern Christian Leadership Conference is to promote spiritual
principles within our membership and local communities; to educate youth
and adults in the areas of personal responsibility, leadership
potential, and community service; to ensure economic justice and civil
rights in the areas of discrimination and affirmative action; and to
eradicate environmental classism and racism wherever it exists.
THE ORGANIZATION
The Southern Christian Leadership
Conference is a nonprofit, non-sectarian, inter-faith, advocacy
organization that is committed to nonviolent action to achieve social,
economic, and political justice.
The Southern Christian Leadership
Conference consists of localized chapters and affiliates that are
located throughout the country. The Southern Christian Leadership
Conference chapters and affiliates support the organization by working
in their respective communities to implement national programs (such as
voter registration, improvement of education and direct action against
any form of injustice or inequitable treatment) and stand as an advocate
for those on the margins of society.
