At The Black Appalachian Coalition (BLAC), we uplift the voices of communities across Appalachia and the Ohio River Basin & Valley, advancing environmental, economic, and social justice. Grounded in healing and resilience, our mission is to confront systemic inequities, combat pollution, and build collective power to cultivate a sustainable future that honors the rich heritage of the hills and hollers we proudly call home.

The richness of the region is a collective story that leaves no one behind, but it builds collective power and perseverance, building the pathway for equity and justice.

Your support helps The Black Appalachian Coalition amplify Black voices, dismantle the colonized narrative of the region, and use story-based strategies to drive solutions that center the voices and lived experiences of Black Appalachians.
