During the annual Maryland Legislative Session (January-April), we work with Accountability partners to advocate for legislation that advances racial justice. No experience is necessary; anybody can do this. We offer training at the beginning of each legislative session.

What about the County and the City of Annapolis legislation? If you are interested, we want to hear from you!

SURJ3A has participated in many actions over the years with our accountability partners and has also worked to engage more white people in the multiracial movement for justice. We continue these efforts and have also formed "circles" so people can join in local efforts. Join a Noncooperation or Election Circle today!

NEW: Circles in Annapolis, West County, Bowie and Calvert County.

Over the years, we’ve built powerful relationships with Black- and Brown-led organizations. We serve on partner committees, show up for actions, and provide mutual aid in solidarity.

Ready to plug in? Join our SURJ3A Power Hour+ or email us to learn more about opportunities to directly support our partners.

Our Basebuilding team focuses on growing, engaging, and sustaining SURJ3A’s membership so that more white people can take effective, accountable action for racial justice.

Sometimes we do this by developing educational events that equip our members with the skills and knowledge to understand the systemic nature of racism and take collective action, build solidarity, and work towards justice. 

Interested in more than a book read (LOL - we do those too!)? Join us!

The Healing Team emphasizes the importance of collective care. 

The Healing Team often builds in reflective and rejuvenating exercises and practices to meetings, workshops, and ongoing work. They also remind us to build community together, step back when we need to take a break, and plan fun events.

Our structure is neither hierarchical nor top-down. Even with our three coordinators at the center, their main role is to coordinate decision-making and keep us all connected in this work. They organize the agenda for our monthly meeting and often have an odd task or two if you want to get a feel for the role!
