Charlotte SURJ Disbanding Chapter: ‘Our disbandment is rooted in calls from Black leadership’
Charlotte SURJ
As former active members of Charlotte SURJ (Showing Up For Racial Justice), we are disbanding this chapter. We are calling for the disbandment of national SURJ and for the redistribution of the energy of white people into Black, Brown, Indigenous, and People of Color- led groups and endeavors for true racial justice and collective liberation.
The end of white supremacy will not come from a room of white people talking to each other about racism. We need to take action, and now. As the advent of a Trump presidency is certain, we have an imperative responsibility now more than ever before to rise against the fascist tide of Trump, his terrorist supporters, and liberal Trump apologists. We must do this as part of a multi-national, multi-racial, multi-gender force to fight white supremacy, colonialism, racism, capitalism, xenophobia, homophobia, transmisogyny, misogyny, ableism, classism, all other systems of oppression. We demand full liberation of all oppressed people.
White supremacy comes in many forms and will deceive us at every turn. We must never forget our legacy of violence and the historical context white groups have held in upholding white supremacy. We must remain ever critical of the ways our whiteness manifests. By organizing white folks in a silo we perpetuate racist ideologies and actions. We reject the neoliberal fad that ‘tough conversations’ alone will break down this oppressive system that kills people of color daily.
Our disbandment is rooted in calls from Black leadership. We are committed to dismantling white supremacist cis-heteropatriarchy and in building with people of color, following Black and Brown leadership, particularly the leadership of queer, trans, and gender nonconforming people of color.
We implore white people to become a part of the Movement for Black Lives by joining and investing in multi-national, multi-racial, and multi-gender groups led by trans and queer people of color. In Charlotte, we recommend connecting with groups like Charlotte Uprising and TQPOCC.
We will be deleting the SURJ Charlotte Facebook page shortly.
The work continues, as does our commitment to smashing white supremacy and transforming ourselves in the process. Solidarity.

Presente.Org Petition: Help stop a white supremacist, Stephen Bannon
Donald Trump announced that he wants to hire Stephen Bannon as his Chief Strategist. What’s the problem with that? Stephen Bannon himself said when he left Breitbart, “We’re the platform for the alt-right.”1 The Alt-right has a well-known philosophy based on white supremacy, this means that Donald Trump wants to hire someone who hates immigrants, Muslims, LGBTQ people, Black people, Jewish people — to name a few — to be the person who helps him create strategy for his administration.
As the highest ranking person in Congress, Speaker Paul Ryan has the responsibility to make sure due diligence is done for every person appointed or hired to help run our country. The Latinx community is about to face one of the most repressive moments in our history in the US, with Donald Trump promising to deport at least 3 million of us,2 and Stephen Bannon is only confirmation that he is committed to persecuting and criminalizing our communities.
Speaker Ryan said, “We are not planning on erecting a deportation force. Donald Trump’s not planning on that,”3 The proof is in the pudding, he needs to show us and the country that we’re not going to be hunted down in our homes, workplaces, and in the streets. We demand he does everything in his power to block Stephen Bannon, a white supremacist, from becoming one of the highest-ranking staffers inside the White House.
Thank you for all you do and ¡adelante!
