Anti-racism 101: How to show-up for racial justice

12/3/2020

 
Thursday, December 3, 2020 • 6:00 PM ​​ - 7:15 PM  •  Online
​In the wake of the 2020 elections, we are facing a divided nation threatening racial justice and the lives of Black people. If you are feeling called to action but are not sure how to or where to begin, this workshop is for you. In this introductory workshop, we’ll start by understanding systemic racism as a system of advantage rooted in the beliefs and institutionalization of white supremacy, rather than a product of individuals who are “good” or “bad”. We’ll also discuss how individuals can engage in an ongoing practice of anti-racism to actively dismantle racism in their daily lives. Attendees will have opportunities to engage in small-group dialogue and create a plan for taking at least one action in support of racial justice within their personal spheres of influence. Join us as we come together in community to learn, empower, and participate in change.

Saturday, November 14, 2020 • 11 AM ​​ - 1 PM  •  Online
This space is to support the difficult emotional work of dismantling white supremacy within ourselves and our communities in order to fortify our hearts, minds, and bodies to continue to show up for racial justice. We will provide opportunities to explore internal barriers that are holding us back from living out our desire to work for racial justice and practice how to deeply listen to each other to create a culture that supports calling people into the movement from a place of love. We utilize large group and small group dialogues that are grounded in theories of social change and anti-racist white identity development. We see this space as open to any white person who is interested in honest conversation, reflection, and confrontation with race, racism, and white privilege. This space is intended to be a support to help people to build resilience in order to move into a more active role in dismantling white supremacy.

phonebank for schools & communities first

10/28/2020

 
Wednesday, October 28, 2020 • 5:00 PM - 7:30 PM
Are you tired of seeing our schools and communities struggle to secure adequate funding while big corporations rake in record profits year after year? Proposition 15 will allow cities and counties to invest in schools and crucial public services by making large, wealthy corporations pay their fair share in property taxes. If we truly value Black life, we will vote to enable our government to fund services in Black communities that have suffered decades of disinvestment. 
 
Help us reach out to SURJ members to discuss why now, more than ever, it is critical to close corporate tax loopholes and return vital resources to our schools and communities by passing Prop 15: Schools and Communities First.

Free the Vote: Political Education

10/25/2020

 
Two years ago, SURJ Bay Area worked with our partner Initiate Justice to gather signatures for the Voter Registration and Democracy Act ballot initiative. That ballot initiative has morphed into Prop 17, the Free the Vote initiative, sponsored by Initiate Justice, which is on Californians' ballots right now. Prop 17 will restore the right to vote to people with felonies on parole in the state of California. Come learn about how we got here and what we can do to support this state-wide ballot initiative.
