SURJ Ottawa

SURJ Ottawa Organizing white people to act for racial justice with accountability. Join Us! Joignez-vous à nous!

Nous mobilisons la communauté blanche afin de bouger vers la justice raciale et ce, en toute responsabilité. Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) is an international network of groups and individuals organizing white people for racial justice. Through community organizing, mobilizing, and education, SURJ moves white people to act as part of broader multiracial coalitions for justice with accountab

ility. SURJ is committed to undermining white support for white supremacist systems and institutions. For those of us who are settlers on Indigenous land, we commit to working towards decolonization, Indigenous sovereignty and resurgence. We connect people across Turtle Island (North America) while supporting and collaborating with local and national racial justice and decolonization organizing efforts led by Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC) organizers. We prioritize accountability, a culture of care, and collectivity in our learning and growing. SURJ Ottawa provides a space to develop consciousness, political education, skills, and political analysis to act for change under BIPOC-led organizing. SURJ Ottawa aims to carry out this work within the Algonquin Anishinaabe territory also known as Ottawa, with a specific focus on issues and action related to the Ottawa area and Canada more broadly. Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) se veut un réseau international constitué de groupes et d’individus mobilisant la communauté blanche dans le but d’atteindre la justice raciale. Utilisant une approche communautaire à la mobilisation, l’organisation et l’éducation, SURJ pousse la communauté blanche à agir, et la rallie à de plus larges coalitions multiraciales pour la justice et ce, en toute responsabilité. SURJ consacre ses efforts à saper le support des blanches et des blancs pour les systèmes et les institutions perpétuant la suprématie blanche. En ce qui a trait à celles et ceux d’entre nous qui sommes des colons en territoire autochtone, nous nous engageons à travailler sur la décolonisation, la souveraineté autochtone et la résurgence. Nous rassemblons des gens de partout sur l’Île de la Tortue (Amérique du Nord), tout en supportant et travaillant de concert avec des activistes Noirs, Autochtones et de couleur locaux et nationaux dans leur efforts de mobilisation pour la justice raciale et la décolonisation. Nous priorisons la responsabilisation, une culture de soins et d'attention, et le sens de la collectivité dans notre apprentissage et notre cheminement. SURJ Ottawa prévoit un espace d’éducation et de développement de la conscience et des compétences d’analyse politiques permettant de participer aux actes menés par les organisations Noires, Autochtones et de couleur vers un changement certain. SURJ Ottawa réalise son travail sur le territoire Algonquin Anishinaabe, aussi connu sous le nom d’Ottawa. Ses activités se concentrent particulièrement sur les problématiques et actions propres à la région d’Ottawa et au Canada en général.

White denialism of racism provokes a narrative of ‘us versus them.’ Self-reflection and listening are among the ways to be accountable for interrupting and eradicating racism.
