ORGANIZE IN SOLIDARITY
Showing Up for Racial Justice in Annapolis & Anne Arundel County (SURJ3A)
is rooted in community organizing, mobilizing, and education
We are the Annapolis & Anne Arundel County, Maryland chapter of Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ), a national network of groups and individuals organizing white people for racial and economic justice since 2009.
We use a shared interest approach, emphasizing what white people have to gain by fighting racism and focusing on collective liberation.
SURJ3A members are currently active with:
Calling in white people to the multiracial justice movement
Legislative advocacy that brings about policy changes for racial equity and intersectional justice
Community organizing, mutual aid, and reparative justice action and education
Supporting our Accountability Partners’ capacity and actions
Noncooperation Campaigns – organizing and taking action against ICE and authoritarianism
Election Campaigns – supporting progressive candidates locally and nationally
“When looking for 'my people,' I knew I needed a few things:
People with experience and a track record of putting in the work. Not a group that was just figuring itself out.
A group that was adamantly intersectional, acknowledged systemic racism, and was actively working against the pitfalls of white saviorism.
I found that group in SURJ.”
— Renee S.

We focus on getting white people involved in the multiracial movement for justice. Since our founding, we have developed relationships with Black and Brown-led groups by supporting their agendas with our time, talent, treasure, ties, and testimony. Our partnerships help us ensure we are held accountable to these communities and not operating in uninformed silos.
