Showing Up for Racial Justice has a Zoom meeting today (5 pm Pacific) about how white people can help fight back against ICE.
#AbolishICE #FuckICE #fascism #Americanfascism #domesticterrorists #whitenationalism #whitesupremacy #SURJ
Join us on Saturday to take a stand and action for change!
Trump's crimes are unacceptable. Stepping on the sovereignty of a nation and hinting at attacking a NATO ally, which would dissolve the organization among other things, are the actions of a fascist authoritarian.
We're taking direct action against those who will profit from this atrocity. Protesting at Chevron and Citgo stations nationwide.

📢 I just joined the We Ain't Buyin' it! pledge to #boycott with #SURJ (Showing Up For Racial Justice)
👉 Join us and hit pause on shopping at Home Depot, Target, and Amazon from 27 Nov through 1 Dec 2025 https://www.mobilize.us/surj/event/871276/
Why? CAUSE explains…
- Amazon, for paying a fraction of what they owe in taxes while our communities are starved of health and other resources
- Home Depot, for colluding with ICE raids and kidnappings
- Target, for caving to Trump's attacks on diversity and inclusion
CAUSE = Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy https://causenow.org
............................................................................... ### SURJ is joining forces with the _We Ain't Buying It!_ Campaign to send a clear message to corporate America and the Trump administration: you can’t continue to profit off of us while catering to MAGA’s racism. SURJ Ain't Buying It. ### _Join us and hit pause on shopping at Home Depot, Target, and Amazon from Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday 2025._ ............................................................................... **Here are the facts:** - For nearly a year, this administration and its corporate allies have attacked working families, immigrants, and people of color. Federal workers have been fired, DEI dismantled, troops deployed in our neighborhoods, and millions denied healthcare during a government shutdown. - Meanwhile, corporations have profited — securing tax cuts, funding this administration’s agenda, and looking the other way as people suffer. Enough is enough. ***If they profit off our pain, they don’t deserve our dollars.*** - **20% of annual retail sales happen during the holiday season.** Sales figures make national news - any dip in them will be reported. If we all wield consumer collective power in a targeted boycott with clear demands, we'll be the headline instead of corporate greed and profit margins. - **White folks are the largest consumer base in the US** and spend almost double that of Black households. Our outsized wealth drives the economy, and when we take ownership of what and how we spend, we can drive change. Join the multiracial coalition of this boycott, and bring your people! #### This holiday season we’re using our collective power to speak the only language corporations understand: our wallets. Together we’ll practice economic noncooperation and: - 👉🏽Call out the corporations that are doing our communities harm - 👉🏽Withhold our spending from major corporate retailers - 👉🏽Redirect our dollars locally and in our communities - 👉🏽Show the power of our ability to act together. *** Let’s show them that our silence isn’t for sale and our values aren’t up for purchase. *** ### Join us and make our impact bigger. Sign below and pledge to boycott **Target, Amazon, and Home Depot** from **November 27th through December 1st.** ............................................................................... _About us: Showing Up For Racial Justice (SURJ) is the largest organization that explicitly organizes white people towards racial and economic justice - all are welcome to do our work with us.

https://surj.org/category/past-webinars/ I wanted to share this repository of recordings from presentations from Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ), a national anti-racist organization. there's a lot of great info here.
If you've seen #SURJ before, "organizing white people" might be off-putting. It's not talking about segregation; they're just focused on how to educate white folks about racism. but sometimes ppl have misconceptions as if you have to be white to participate or benefit from their presentations and organizing events, you don't. so just an FYI
