Just Communities is a Bold Reimagination of How Communities Grow
At PSE, we focus on places where the inseparable forces of racial and environmental injustice persist- places that Black and historically disinvested communities of color have occupied but have not flourished, and places around the world stunted by a dearth of economic mobility and extraction.

Our work was born out of the movement for racial justice in the American South, but we are connected by our history, our pain, and our promise to all communities. Together, we can make a global paradigm shift towards new forms of equitable and regenerative land, property, infrastructure, real estate, and community development

WE RECOGNIZE THE LASTING IMPACT OF STRUCTURAL RACISM.
WE OPERATE ON RADICAL TRUTH AND UNDERSTANDING OF HISTORY.
WE HONOR THE WISDOM OF NEIGHBORS AND THE POWER OF COMMUNITY.
WE COMMIT TO HEALING AND LIBERATION.
WE ARE COMMITTED TO STRATEGIES THAT FACILITATE A JUST CLIMATE TRANSITION.
WE LEVERAGE PUBLIC POLICY FOR REFORM, REPAIR, AND RECONCILIATION.
WE ASSERT RACIAL EQUITY AS THE SUPERIOR ECONOMIC GROWTH MODEL.
