SURJ organizes white voters to block white supremacy; build progressive power; and grow our base to millions taking anti-racist action. We target rural, poor, and working-class people using a shared interest approach through canvassing, phone banking, text, and educational campaigns that pave a pathway to engagement for white voters.
