This year SURJB has a cohort of 5 leaders - Morgan, Jon, Sarah D, Ann, and Eva - attending 4 months of Relational Uprising trainings in an effort expand upon and deepen our chapter's culture and practice of relationship-based organizing.
The content and goals are not individual skill building, but rather about creating and sustaining collective caring capacity for social change work. The commitment is to bring these learnings back to the wider SURJB chapter and beyond in order to both lift up and to deepen our antiracism work.
These trainings are expensive and we have a gap of about $1,600 to cover for training costs. We also want to live into our SURJ B Values and to match what we spend on our own leadership development with investment in BIPOC organizations that also work to bring up the next generation of leaders.
To that end we are raising $7,000 which will go to:
- $1600 to training costs
- $5400 split evenly between Community Change Inc, Sisters Unchained, Student Immigrant Movement, and Dorchester Not For Sale
