SURJ mobilizes white people for justice across the country. Through campaigns, education, and action opportunities, we move our people to reject racism and complicity– and to join movements for change.
Learn more about our current work and join us in action below.
In our one-hour gatherings we make calls, sign petitions, send emails, and take online action to close jails, defund police, invest in communities, protect Indigenous rights to land and water, and more. You’ll receive training and support throughout the session as well as a community of fellow SURJ members to take action with!
Drawing on our 15 years of successfully mobilizing and organizing white people for justice, we’re running a program for anyone looking to show up in this moment with power and in community: Protect and Resist: actions and training for white people in the first 100 days. This program will build off of our successful “Gear Up” post-election campaign where over 2,000 people took action with us, but will be open to anyone.
Whether you’re new to SURJ or have been with us before, we’re glad you’re here! We’re the largest organization in North America that explicitly organizes white communities for racial and economic justice. Sign up to hear about what SURJ does, why we do it, how we’ll win, and how you can join our team!
