Southern Gumption

Welcome to Southern Gumption. I’m your host, Andy Li, and together, we'll embark on a journey through history and the present day to reveal the unheard voices who have been instrumental in shaping the fight for voting rights, justice system reform, and environmental justice.

Today's trailer of Southern Gumption is hosted by Andy Li (he/him/they/them), presented by Southern Coalition for Social Justice (SCSJ) of North Carolina, and produced by Earfluence.

What is Southern Gumption?

At Southern Coalition for Social Justice, we believe the South is the most radical place in this country; it’s why so much has been done to oppress those who call it home. In this podcast, you’ll hear directly from the folks on the frontlines; community members who are living the reality of uniquely Southern struggles, as well as advocates, lawyers, lawmakers, and others who are fighting back, creating solutions, changing the narrative, and forcefully demanding equal rights for all.

Voting rights, justice system reform, and environmental justice aren't just buzzwords; they are the issues that affect real lives. We'll delve deep into these topics, exploring how they intersect, impact, and empower the stories of our Southern communities.
