Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) Sacramento

All Ages Community Meeting 

Wednesday, April 25

UUSS Welcome Hall

Potluck & Newcomer Orientation at 6:00 p.m. / General Meeting at 6:30 p.m.

SURJ Sacramento will discuss what their workgroups (Education, Mobilizing, Art & Communication) have been working on, as well as projects that the chapter will be working on in the coming months.

Campaigns that SURJ is working on:
1) Justice for Stephon Clark, a 22-year old black man and father of two killed by Sacramento police on March 18. He was unarmed and shot in his back while standing in his grandparents’ backyard.
2) Housing and Racial Justice: supporting the campaign for rent control and just cause for eviction.
3) Education: educating people about white supremacy and movements for racial justice, including the SURJ Study and Action Group’s 7-week class.

About SURJ Sacramento:

SURJ Sacramento’s role, as part of a multi-racial movement, is to undermine white people’s support for white supremacy and help build a racially just society. Through community organizing, mobilizing, and education, SURJ Sacramento moves white people in our community to act as part of a multi-racial majority for justice with passion and accountability. SURJ Sacramento works to connect people across varying neighborhoods and backgrounds, while supporting and collaborating with local and national racial justice organizing efforts. As a chapter, SURJ Sacramento particularly values relationships with community members of color. SURJ Sacramento works under the leadership and guidance of these groups and is accountable to their efforts. SURJ Sacramento provides a space to build relationships, skills, and political analysis to act for change through a non-violent, intersectional, and community-oriented approach.
