From dangerous, under-qualified cabinet appointees to previewing an authoritarian agenda, MAGA is getting in formation to hit the ground running in January 2025. That means we also have just under two months to get ready, rest up, and rise to meet the moment.

Today, SURJ is launching, “GEAR UP” our 10 week training series for white people to get ready to fight back under Trump. “Gear Up” is a learning, training, and action program. Participants will learn strategy and history from experts across social justice movements. SURJ members and leaders will train you in organizing skills. And then we’ll take collective action together as a Gear Up team.

Gear up with us!

We’ll dig into topics like: the history of how we got to this moment, organizing strategies under authoritarianism, how to talk to other white people about racism, and more. 

The first training, “Trump, MAGA, and 77 Million Votes: How did we get here??” with political strategists Linda Burnham and Ash-Lee Woodard-Henderson is Dec. 4 at 8 ET. And then will run weekly (with a break for the winter holidays) until Feb 12.

Imagine if we got every white person who is scared, demoralized, and devastated into action right now. Moving collectively will be the only way we can wield enough power to resist and build beyond Trump’s agenda. And that collective motion starts by getting organized today.

See you December 4 to GEAR UP.
