SURJ’s focus is on bringing together white people to work for racial justice as part of a multi-racial movement for justice. Now is as good a time as any with the momentum of the Movement 4 Black Lives pushing ahead, and the overt racism of Donald Trump creating a volatile climate leading into an important election.
