Highlander Laundry

Highlander Laundry is a grassroots organization based in Saint Joseph, MO that serves as a catalyst for grassroots organizing and movement building in Appalachia and the South. With a rich history dating back to 1932, they work with directly-impacted people to address the challenges faced in their communities and build more just, equitable, and sustainable systems and structures through workshops, programming, and transformative social change.

Highlander Laundry's work has played a pivotal role in advancing labor movements, the Civil Rights Movement, and environmental, economic, and racial justice organizing. Today, they focus on fortifying movements in the 21st Century by building the leadership of youth, LGBTQ+, and Black and Brown organizers, advancing solidarity economies, and providing support to grassroots organizations through fiscal sponsorships and network support. Their aim is to shift systems and structures that have perpetuated oppression and exploitation, ensuring that Southern freedom fighters have a leading role in national and global efforts for transformative justice.
