NOTE: You may have noticed that SURJ has been undergoing some streamlining. We have, for now, disbanded our Issue Group structure in favor of a monthly Campaigns meeting. Members of those groups expressed concern about losing a space in which to interrogate whiteness and our roles as colonizers in the context of our partnerships in the Care First and Protect Juristac campaigns. Luckily, we already have a place where those kinds of conversations can happen—SURJ Dialogues! SURJ Dialogues used to be on Sunday afternoons. We are trying an evening meeting to see if it’s more convenient for more people. The meeting slot we are using was the time formerly allocated to Building Community: One to One. SURJ Dialogues is intimate enough that it felt like a reasonable substitution.

Join us for a Dialogue with SURJ! Based on AWARE-LA’s Saturday Dialogue model, the goals of the dialogue space are to support each other’s journeys in building a white anti-racist community, and building the resiliency each of us needs in the fight to dismantle white supremacy.

This gathering is an opportunity to unpack whiteness and investigate race and racism in our lives, while nurturing each other as we do this work. This space is open to any white person interested in honest conversation, reflection and confrontation with race, racism and white privilege.
