Reckoning with our privilege is a journey so many of us take in social justice work. And while these learnings are important, individual transformation alone is not enough to substantially shift racist institutions in our country and stop rising authoritarianism, which strategically relies on the support of white people.

Join SURJ in conversation with Heather McGhee, NYT best selling author of “The Sum of Us” and leading political thinker on race and the economy, to explore white people’s stake in fighting MAGA– and how we can take action to organize white people around their stake in fights for justice.

We have already seen Trump and Vance using racism to blame immigrants– not corporations or policy– for things like rising housing costs and job loss. This rhetoric is deadly for people of color. And it ensures that none of us- white people included- get the resources our communities desperately need.

We all have a stake in stopping MAGA this year– so that we can build social movements to be powerful enough to deliver the change working people need.
