Showing up for Racial Justice Kansas City (SURJ KC) is a part of the nation-wide Showing up for Racial Justice Network.
The SURJ KC Network is comprised a Coordinating Council and Cores. SURJ KC is in an accountability relationship with the People of Color Power Team. We also work alongside One Struggle KC, KS/MODA and other POC led groups organizing for racial justice.
The Coordinating Council provides overarching leadership for the SURJ KC Network in the following ways:
We believe that in order to build a multi-racial, People of Color-led movement for liberation, white people need to do intentional work within themselves and their areas of influence. The SURJ KC Network is made up of Cores, which are groups where you can work within your areas of influence, interests, and passions to disrupt and dismantle racism.
SURJ KC is a 100% volunteer led organization committed to organizing white people for racial justice in accountability with People of Color. We appreciate your financial support!
We must also commit to supporting the work of People of Color led groups that are organizing for racial justice. We are committed to giving 1/2 of our donations to local POC led groups and ask that you also make a matching donation to a POC led group fighting for racial justice. Here is a list of suggestions compiled with the help of the POC Power Team: Anytown KC • KS/MODA • One Struggle KC • RJN/ Reale Justice Network • Uzazi Village
Thank you for being a part of the movement for racial justice and our collective liberation!
