'We Are the South' Rises with LGBTQ Racial Justice Activitists

Participants at the 2014 FYRE Media Justice Camp this summer

LGBTQ activists at the intersection of race, place, class, sexuality and so much more working toward racial justice in the South? No, you're not dreaming. This week, the Better Together Southern Leadership and Action Cohort, a network of eight organizations gathered by Colorlines' publisher Race Forward, launched We Are the South. It is a photo campaign highlighting the people at the center of this week's launch. On social media, #WeAretheSouth and #SomosElSur amplified those activists' experiences.

Here now, a roundup of some of the photos activists shared via wearethesouth.org.
