SPARK serves as an entry point and leadership pipeline for new social justice leaders, and a political home for Black women and young people, centering Black queer women, trans folx and folx living outside the gender binary.
Our Mission
We utilize arts, culture and media to build resources for and shift narratives about our communities. SPARK engages in power building through grassroots organizing, advocacy, knowledge-building, and political development of our base and members in Georgia and across the US South.

Our Vision
SPARK envisions a world free from economic, social, political, cultural and sexual oppression – especially anti-Black oppression; where Black queer women and young people, including trans folx and folx living outside the gender binary have access to rest and thrive.
We seek to bring about a world wherein communities center and hold each other’s humanity with love, grace, joy, healing, and accountability. We imagine a future where marginalized people have the autonomy to make decisions about their lives, bodies, sexuality, and reproduction free from fear, stigma and shame. We envision a world where our people get to be their and their ancestors’ wildest dreams.
