Flyer text:

Mission:Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) believes in collective liberation -- and that none of us can be free until we end white supremacy.

SURJ's role as part of a multi-racial movement is to undermine white support for white supremacy and to help build a racially just society. That work cannot be done in isolation from or disconnected form the powerful leadership of communities of color. It is one part of a multi-racial, cross-class movement centering people of color leadership.

Vision: We envision a society where we struggle together with love, for justice, human dignity and a sustainable world.

Date: February 16
