SURJ: Strategies for Engaging White People in Racial Justice

The economic recession and Obama's presidency have triggered a largely white racist backlash by the Tea Party, anti-immigrant organizations and conservative political commentators. More white people are needed to show up and speak out against racism. Presenters will share experiences for recruiting and engaging white people in racial justice efforts and working in alliance with organizations of color.

Speakers: Dara Silverman, Carla Wallace, Dottye Burt-Markowitz
