Racism and scapegoating have been at the core of the authoritarian movement’s strategy since the Civil Rights movement won landmark change that massively threatened capitalists and oligarchs. So it’s critical that we center racial justice, especially the movements for Black political power in the US South, in our strategies to not just win in the short term, but win the multiracial democracy that we truly need.

Join SURJ in conversation with Southern political powerhouses, Rukia Lumumba and Justin Pearson, on the importance of building Southern Black political power and SURJ’s electoral plan for 2026 and the necessary work white people have to do in the upcoming midterm elections.
