SURJ KC
Showing Up for Racial Justice Kansas City (SURJ KC) is a local network organizing white people for racial justice. We are a part of the national SURJ network. http://www.showingupforracialjustice.org/about
Through personal support, political education, and solidarity action, SURJ KC moves white people to act as part of a multiracial majority for justice with passion and accountability.
We do this work from a set of seven shared values, which we believe are also essential Points of Unity for a winning racial justice movement.
