Welcome to
ACROSS

The Alabama Center for Rural Organizing and Systemic Solutions (ACROSS) was founded in 2023 in the aftermath of a once-in-a-century climate disaster in Camp Hill, AL. When government dropped the ball, we stepped up to fill the gap and manage the immediate and long-term recovery. Our purpose has expanded to co-create ​thriving communities with mutual aid, climate resilience, meaningful labor, and strong families.

Our Objective

Some of the key barriers to healthy, thriving, and resilient communities include aging, limited internet access, limited social and public services, poverty, isolation, lack of public transportation, and limited access to healthcare. These barriers are exacerbated by our changing climate.

Our objective is to assist our stakeholders in      co-creating thriving communities with 
​mutual aid, climate resilience, meaningful labor, and strong families
