The two-story building and 5.1 acres of land are located in one of the most historic neighborhoods for African American history in the City of Atlanta. The shared project builds a base of Black residents, youth, and community members in South Atlanta through neighborhood organizing efforts to protect the land, provide education, address and prevent violence, provide emergency relief in the wake of crises, and engage grassroots political power. The Umoja Garden is a working farm that engages community members in agricultural learning opportunities and produces fresh vegetables for communities without access to adequate healthy food options. The 44 acres of land purchased in Spalding County also serve as an education and retreat space for the mutual aid liberation projects. 641311 190000 SOUTHERN LAND AND FREEDOM:Project Souths Southern Land and Freedom program and leadership development initiatives increase the number of skilled leaders and organizers with the capacity to implement cross-issue organizing efforts, develop root cause political analysis, and create long-term movement-building strategies.

Annual action plans advance regional efforts to dismantle systems of exploitation and build movement infrastructure.
