A home for white people working for justice

When we fight racism, we all win.

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.

Current Campaigns

Learn more about our current work and join us in action below.

Block by Block: Solidarity Rising is SURJ’s 2026 national campaign to elect champions for working people, block MAGA, and fight for the future we deserve. We do this through three strategies: Mobilize through mass action, Elect working class champions, and Grow a strong, active base. Join us for this training series to get skilled up in everything you need to show up for the fight in 2026!

Come take action with SURJ! We’ll be calling voters about primary races working to elect progressive champions in key states and districts to ultimately take back BOTH the House and Senate this November.

Come as you are! No experience needed! Full training & lots of support included!

On this one-hour call we will:
  • Take a meaningful, virtual action together
  • Meet people who are new to SURJ, and hear from people who have been organizing with us for a while.
  • Get a short orientation to SURJ
  • Make sense of the current state of the world right now
  • Learn about ways to join SURJ’s work: find a chapter or circle near you, join an organizing training, and sign up for a phonebank or national organizing project.
