Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) is a national organization that mobilizes hundreds of thousands of white people to engage in fights for racial and economic justice. Founded in 2009, SURJ addresses the strategic racism that has historically divided communities and undermined collective action. The organization operates through a network of over 200 chapters across the United States and Canada, focusing on local organizing projects and national campaigns. SURJ's approach emphasizes building people power in multi-racial communities, fostering collaboration among diverse groups, and empowering white individuals to take action against racism. With a strong commitment to social justice, SURJ has successfully organized community efforts to block jail construction and advocate for better working conditions, positioning itself as a leader in the movement for racial equity.
