SARN develops campaigns and projects in the South to end racial disparities in criminal justice, economic opportunities, education, environmental justice and health care. We’re a network of activists who cross the lines of race, gender, class, age and immigration status to build community relationships in the South.

  • SARN began its commitment to ending the criminalization of youth in 2000 in collaboration with grass roots organizations in North Carolina.
    • High suspension rates of African American males in public schools, the education achievement gap and the growing prison population are inextricably linked.
    • Community education about this social concern is necessary to end the school-to-prison pipeline and the unsustainable incarceration rates.
    • A stronger commitment to culturally competent education strategies is necessary for students to succeed in public schools.
