5th Annual People's March to Reclaim King's Radical Legacy Join us TODAY at the 5th Annual People's March to Reclaim the Radical Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a mass mobilization called by the Anti Police-Terror Project (APTP). On this federal holiday, we will highlight not the sanitized version of Dr. King, but the militant leader whose ideas and political organizing on issues of white supremacy, political power, capitalism, and U.S. imperialism increasingly called for a radical restructuring of the economic and social systems in the U.S. The SURJ contingent will meet at Unify Credit Union on Oscar Grant Plaza at 11:30 am. Location: Oscar Grant/Frank Ogawa Plaza, 14th and Broadway, Oakland Thursday, January 17 • 6:30 - 8:30 pm

Location: The Eric Quezada Center for Culture and Politics, 518 Valencia, San Francisco THANK YOU for supporting the #12DaysToShowUp Fundraising Campaign!
We not only met our matching challenge of $10,800, but exceeded our $30,000 goal and raised over $42,000!! That means that about $10,500 will flow into the work of rural SURJ chapters to mobilize white people throughout the US. Additionally, about $31,500 will support the work of the 12 local Black, Indigenous, and people of color-led organizations that we profiled in our blog and social media.
