SURJ Baltimore hosts a day of education, training, and planning for the Maryland legislative session on January 20th, 2018 at the Cathedral of the Incarnation, 4 E University Parkway in Baltimore, MD.
We are aiming to raise enough to provide a $150 or more honorarium for each of our accountability partners, the $200 space rental fee, and $50 for other expenses like printing. Any amount above our goal will be given to the organizations who are making presentations. (Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle, Out for Justice, and CASA).
The event is free and open to the public, but contributions are greatly appreciated!
RSVPs are required for this event! RSVP at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdUjXvYwnitbZzoCzjLkS1C1rbAqQ6MEgsi4MgumoUsZHs3dg/viewform?usp=sf_link

ABOUT SURJ
SURJ Baltimore is a chapter of the national organization Showing Up for Racial Justice (showingupforracialjustice.org).
Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ)'s goal as part of a multi-racial movement is to undermine white support for white supremacy and to help build a racially just society. That work cannot be done in isolation from or disconnected from the powerful leadership of communities of color. It is one part of a multi-racial, cross-class movement centering people of color leadership. Therefore, SURJ believes in resourcing organizing led by people of color, and maintaining strong accountability relationships with organizers and communities of color as a central part of our theory of change.
