Who we are
Southern Christian Leadership Global Policy Initiative
Founded to help the civil rights movement research the most critical issues, SCL-GPI works to solve the most impactful problems in disadvantaged and minority communities.
SCL-GPI researches specific social justice issues to identify correctable problems, design innovative policies to address these problems, and build coalitions to advocate for a policy strategy supporting a better standard of living for all communities.
Our History
SCL-GPI is an offshoot of the venerable civil rights organization the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) which was formed many decades ago by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to fight for social justice and improved lives for the poor in minority and disadvantaged communities. SCL-GPI will serve as an advocacy and government relations organization, coordinating its mission and current policy strategy with civil rights groups all over the world.
Our Mission
SCL-GPI's mission is to gather information from target communities, develop solutions, and educate the target community how to support the solutions at a community (individuals) and a national level (community leaders). SCL-GPI's main areas of focus: 1) Economic Empowerment and Inclusion 2) Health Care Equity 3) Technology Inclusion and Equity 4) Minority Leadership Inclusion (at all government and industry levels from small town to the US congress and agencies)
