Showing Up for Racial Justice

Support SURJ and Asian American & Pacific Islanders for Civic Empowerment

AAPIs for Civic Empowerment (AAPI FORCE) is an initiative to advance policies, campaigns and issues that support low-income AAPIs through year-round community outreach to build independent political power. AAPI FORCE is working hard to make sure that AAPI communities are counted in the Census, mobilizing to pass Schools and Communities First to raise much needed resources for CA, and highlighting stories of everyday AAPI heroes through our #AAPIsAgainstCOVID storytelling campaign.  


SURJ works in majority-white communities in deep solidarity with communities of color to grow the political base of support for racial and economic justice. We know that the Right works hard to keep white people separated from movements for justice. SURJ's organizing focuses on bringing more white people into support for campaigns and movements for justice.


SURJ and AAPI FORCE are each 501c4 organizations doing political, advocacy and lobbying work. Contributions to SURJ or AAPI FORCE are not tax-deductible.
