SHOWING UP FOR RACIAL JUSTICE

Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) is a national organization that brings hundreds of thousands of white people into fights for racial and economic justice... For too long, white communities have been organized by politicians and corporate bosses who put profit and control over people. They maintain power by using strategic racism to make white communities feel like they have more in common with those at the top than other working people of all races. At SURJ, we bring our folks in by offering a better alternative: a just, vibrant future where people of all races work together to win what we need. We do this work by building people power in multi-racial communities across our network - through campaigns, over 150 chapters across the country, and deep local organizing projects... When we make mistakes, we want to take the time to reflect on them thoughtfully and keep moving in the work. If the mistake has caused harm, we must make amends for the harm caused through apologies,..
