We believe our journalism can help make the South more informed, healthy, equitable, and beautiful.
If you do too, support our work.
Southerly serves communities in the South who face environmental injustice and are most at risk of the effects of climate change. We do this by equipping them with the journalism, resources, and information they need to make their communities healthier and safer, to hold power to account, and to have agency over their future.
