Northside Movement Center
Action St. Louis and ArchCity Defenders are publicly launching a capital campaign for the Northside Movement Center and inviting supporters to invest in the transformation of a significant property in North St. Louis City. Anchored by two of St. Louis’ leading justice organizations, the 36,000-square-foot building brings together advocacy, organizing, direct services, and convening space under one roof.
For generations, North St. Louis has been the heart of Black life, creativity, and resistance.
Yet, decades of disinvestment and displacement have stripped our neighborhoods of the spaces where people gather, organize, and build power together.
The Northside Movement Center (NMC) will change that. Located in the heart of North St. Louis, this new grassroots community hub will bring advocacy, organizing, and direct services together under one roof, anchored by two of St. Louis’ leading justice organizations: Action St. Louis and ArchCity Defenders.
This is more than a building. It’s a commitment to the people of North St. Louis. It’s where we will defend, dream, and build the future our communities deserve.
Our capital campaign, which is facilitated by our 501(c)(3) fundraising partner Friends of Northside, is a community-powered effort to raise $15 million to transform a historic North St. Louis property into a home for justice and organizing.
