Over the next ten weeks, SURJ National is mounting its largest-ever political education and action training program!
Gear Up: A 10 Week Training Program for White People to Fight Back under Trump is a powerful opportunity to build our skills, community, and power in the lead up to 2025. We have just six weeks to prepare, get in formation, and GEAR UP for action before Trump is inaugurated on January 20th.
This is THE big thing SURJ is doing in the lead up to the next administration to resist Trump’s MAGA agenda and fight for multiracial Democracy, and we are excited SURJ NYC is playing a part. Join us!
How you can participate:
Sign up for four National Training Calls, each of which will feature guest speakers of particular expertise to the session’s topic.
Choose to participate in EITHER a Local NYC Circle or online in the National Circle. SURJ NYC organizers will try to match participants with local hosts for in-person “Circles”-- groups of 3-10 people who will meet a few times over the course of the next two months to learn together.
The Gear Up program guide has more information and will be updated regularly. Please bookmark it or keep it handy.
If you missed last week’s first National Training Call, “Trump, MAGA, and 77 Million Votes: How did we get here??” with longtime movement leaders and strategists Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson and Linda Burnham, no worries: you can get caught up to Gear Up! See the National Training Calls page of the Gear Up program guide for the recording and slides.
