Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ)
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.
