Registration is now open for the Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ)

Sacramento Chapter’s Spring Study and Action Group!

SURJ Sacramento is launching Study and Action – a community of learners committed to examining the histories of white supremacy and resistance movements, and building their abilities to effectively take action in support of people of color-led organizations fighting for racial justice. Now is the time to train up, study up, and show up! Join SURJ as they make this commitment to the movement for racial justice!

Why ‘Study and Action?’
Social movements throughout history have engaged in political education to inform organizing and action in the streets. By studying the histories and systems that we resist, we deepen our understanding of injustice and learn to take strategic, effective action. Learning in community makes our movements strong. We train up, so we can take action and show up!

Is This for You?
Are you looking for a learning community to challenge racism? Would you like to find out how to take action locally and be accountable? Have you been wanting to show up in the fight for justice for Stephon Clark, but are unsure how to? Do you want to learn more about racial justice issues so that you can become a resource for your community? This is for you.

Let’s come together as a community of teachers and learners, and explore:

• The creation of whiteness and systems of white supremacy
• Economics and the cost of white supremacy
• Histories of resistance to white supremacy, especially Black liberation movements
• Transforming whiteness for racial justice
• Building skills to take part in, and be accountable within, racial justice movements

Sign up here.
Group sessions will be facilitated by SURJ Sacramento members and will be held on Monday evenings from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. beginning April 30th through June 11th onsite at UUSS.

Participation is free, but donations are requested for the Black Lives Matter Sacramento Chapter through this link.
