Showing up for Racial Justice (SURJ) has its roots in the call from the Black liberation movement in the mid 1960’s. Mae will describe SURJ’s work and provide ample space for discussion in pairs, small group and with the full group on the concepts the presentation raises.

SURJ is a national organization that brings hundreds of thousands of white people into fights for racial and economic justice. 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, 200 chapters across the country, and deep local organizing projects.
