For decades, communities of color have urged white folks to "organize our own" -- to talk with our friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers directly about race and racism in an effort to disrupt and dismantle white supremacy. And while there have been some efforts to do that over the years, none have done so at the scale needed to both own up to the racist roots of this country or to forge a new path forward.

However, many white folks newly committed or re-committed to that effort after Trump's election as president -- and many more have joined the movement as white nationalists have become emboldened by having friends in the White House, and sought to coalesce that power last year in Charlottesville. The white supremacist violence that broke out on August 11-12, 2017, in Charlottesville wasn't new -- but it made visible to more white folks that the stakes in the struggle between liberation and oppression are high...and are getting higher.

SURJ is committed to moving white folks into the movement for collective liberation -- a movement led and shaped by people of color and by poor, working-class, disabled, queer, transgender, and other white folks who are directly impacted by the divisive politics and policies of the ruling class. And there are a lot of different ways to participate in and support that movement. Below, you'll find a resource compiled by our friend Spencer Sunshine that offers a whole host of ways that you can work alongside others in your community to disrupt, dismantle, or otherwise disturb the work of white nationalist organizing. The longer-form document is designed to be used as a reference guide or a tool for conversation with your family, community, or co-workers. The shorter-form document is designed to be distributed at marches, rallies, or canvasses.
