Showing Up for Racial Justice Buffalo hasn't added a story.
At Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) Buffalo, we believe our role is to organize our communities to dismantle white supremacy and to raise resources to support organizations led by and for people of color. We’ve set a goal of raising $10,000 this year to support transformational organizing in our community.
80% of funds raised will support our local partner Black Love Resists in the Rust (BLRR)/Just Resisting (JR). BLRR is a local organization dedicated to transformative justice led by Black people and people of color. Last year they played a critical role in the abolition of the Buffalo Police Department’s Strike Force, known for its stop and frisk policies that terrorized communities of color. BLRR is currently working on a class-action lawsuit to eliminate stop and frisk policies in the BPD. They are canvassing to identify additional plaintiffs and continue building a strong base of people of color.
20% of funds raised will support SURJ hosting Mab Segrest, author and white anti-racist organizer who counter-organized against the Klan in North Carolina in the 1980s, to visit Buffalo to celebrate the re-release of her 1994 book “Memoirs of A Race Traitor.”
We appreciate your support!
