Partnership for Southern Equity
As metropolitan Atlanta and the American South undergo major demographic and economic shifts Partnership for Southern Equity (PSE) works to address issues of growth and access because of the disproportionate burdens they impose on vulnerable communities. PSE is leading the way in helping to change and frame policy conversations by partnering with decision makers and community stakeholders to realize equitable policies and outcomes that benefit everyone. Through the leadership of PSE and its partners thoughtful conversations have evolved into collective action because PSE understands the critical need to articulate and promote equity as the superior growth model when broaching these issues to local organizations, community and business leaders, governmental entities and regional organizations.
