"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor."  ~Desmond Tutu

Welcome to SURJ SB

Join Us!
Showing Up for Racial Justice was created to answer a direct call by communities of color for white people to organize their own racial communities to do two specific things:
​
1. Take responsibility for educating themselves and their own racial peers about their role in upholding systemic racism, and learn what they can do to help dismantle it.
2. Support BIPOC-led organizing to combat racism, racial injustice, and white supremacy.

We are the Santa Barbara Chapter of a national organization with over 150 chapters and affiliate groups across the United States.

Here are some SURJ SB FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS! ​

How do we call in and mobilize our own racial peers?

We design and share anti-racism educational curriculum via presentations, workshops, and study-to-action groups in order to compel white people to better understand systemic racism and their role in dismantling it. ​

How do we show up to co-conspire with BIPOC organizers? 

We show up at events, actions, and protests to co-conspire in meeting the goals determined by BIPOC organizers. When invited, we co-organize with BIPOC-led organizing groups in our community. ​
