SURJ Block by Block Organizing Training in Richmond, VA!

Join our _Organizing Training_ to learn how to win and enforce the midterm elections, fight for justice, and bring your people! We are organizing at a critical moment. Research on authoritarian movements around the world shows that election years are pivotal—either accelerating authoritarian consolidation or stopping it in its tracks. The 2026 midterms are one of those decisive moments. We know MAGA and the billionaires are already organizing for this fight. At SURJ, we are meeting this moment by building coordinated power through our Block by Block campaign. Block by Block is our 2026 national campaign to: - Win the midterm elections - Enforce the results - Grow our base and leadership along the way This training is a hands-on introduction to that strategy. You’ll learn about SURJ and why we organize white people, explore why we believe this is a winning approach, and practice how to talk with people in your life about joining this work. You'll leave skilled up and with clear next steps in how to join our Block by Block campaign and win and defend the midterm elections. If you’re looking for a way to move from concern to action——this training is for you. _Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) is the largest organization in the US that explicitly organizes white communities for racial and economic justice-- because white people have a responsibility to step up and make sure our communities take a stand._
