    About Our Organization:

    Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) is a national organization that brings white people into

    fights for racial and economic justice. We work to build the white flank of multiracial majorities

    fighting for the things all communities need. We organize white people by engaging their shared

    interest-- what they stand to gain by joining alongside people of color. We do this through 150+

    local chapters across the US and Canada, a National Membership base, and local base building

    projects in the South.

The Coach will support congregational leadership teams in conducting one-on-one campaigns to clarify a vision for the congregation. The Coach will support these teams in designing and implementing plans for organizing campaigns, survival strategies, and or spiritual formation. These strategies will be used to build thriving congregations, and to lessen the impact of Christian nationalism.
