Showing Up for Racial Justice - SURJ Colorado Springs

Showing Up for Racial Justice - SURJ Colorado Springs SURJ Colorado Springs is the local chapter of a national network of groups and individuals organizing people for racial justice.

SURJ Colorado Springs honors SURJ National's core principles of calling in more white people to be accomplices in the fight for racial justice and holding white people accountable and responsible for dismantling white supremacy and breaking down systems of oppression.
