About Us

Welcome to SURJ ROC

VISION

A world where the diversity of humanity is fully recognized and celebrated; and where justice is available for all.

MISSION

As a chapter of the national SURJ organization, SURJ ROC's purpose is to support the missions of People of Color-led racial justice groups in the Rochester area in their fight against oppression and inequality. We educate white people about privilege and white supremacy and organize white people to act for racial justice with passion and accountability.

VALUES 

  • Calling people in, not calling people out
  • Take risks, make mistakes, learn, and keep going
  • Tap into mutual interest
  • Accountability through collective action
  • Enough for everyone
  • Growing is good
