Based in Lawrence County in North Alabama, Southeastern Diversity Project was formed when a small group of friends wondered what we could do to positively impact our community. We had tired of the divisiveness that pervaded too many interactions. We felt that if people had more opportunities to interact with and learn from one another, then there would be no room for hate. Since our founding in 2020, we have been determined to make a difference. At the core of our efforts is creating safe and affirming spaces for any historically marginalized groups while bringing our community members together through education, acceptance, and advocacy programs. Our social  gatherings, outreach programs, and fundraisers are all-inclusive events that focus on finding common ground. Through all of our endeavors we hope to display the conviction behind our beliefs that we are all created equal and that our diversity is a beautiful thing and something to be celebrated.
