We are in an uprising. Welcome.
Whether SURJ turns out to be your long-term organizing home, or we just help you get what you need to do this work elsewhere, we’re glad you’re with us, and we’re here to support you in moving into lifelong, multiracial action for racial justice.
One of the key reasons we organize with white people is that rooting out our internalized white supremacy is a lifelong project. But we know it can’t be the centerpiece of anti-racist efforts — learning must be in support of action, not a substitute for it.
We can support each other in understanding and countering white supremacy in ourselves and in the world around us, while also showing up in multiracial spaces responsibly and sustainably. We are committed to taking action in relationship with Black and POC-led organizations in our fight together for collective liberation, following and being held accountable to their movement leadership.

“OUR STORY. OUR STAKE.”
SURJ NYC is proud to be represented in this powerful new SURJ video! Our Story, Our Stake tells the story of SURJ’s work and how we bring white people into movements for justice through engaging their shared interest. All people stand to gain by joining fights for racial and economic justice!
