Wow, that’s a lot of people watching me chewing peanut butter pretzels.

Y’all look good!

Thanks for being on team

What exactly does Avery mean when they say "race neutral"?

Race Neutral electoral work does not name issues around race, seeing this as ‘divisive’ but in fact leaves white voters susceptible to racist messaging.

Aloha from Maui

i flagged the audio for maurice and will also text the person staffing him

Thank you, yes, we are working on it.

We may have time for questions at the end. We will hold this question as a possible question

Where does the Poor People's Campaign fit into all this?

Thanks for your question Jane. There are lots of SURJ chapters that are working with the Poor People’s Campaign. I will add this into the possible questions.

We will be sending it out in an email in the next few days

To all people registered

amen

YES! White people who have a mutual interest with People of Color for the change we all need.

So important to think about this point about white folks overcorrecting to get so small we are not showing up to do the work we need to do with other white folks.

I love the point about white people needing to avoid over-correcting for past dominance, and to take the risk of making mistakes.

this is same with Stacey Abrams

Question: Would love some more specific examples of what “gov’ts in waiting” do following a loss, in addition/support to next election.

We welcome other questions if folks have them, feel free to send them directly to me or in the chat to everyone.

“Demand a radical democracy” YES!

What state races need white people engaging with white working class/ working poor/ poor folx to flip the Senate?

I am in Portland. I don’t think I got to meet Danita. I look forward to meeting both of you!

We are *super* thrilled with how the event played out.

That was a great call with Angela Davis

would be great to get to the “which swing states / which state races?” question

Could you speak how this structure based organizing relates to Momentum based model (used by Sunrise and Cosecha for example) that aims to work at the intersection of structure based organizing and mass organizing moments like Occupy and Standing Rock?

I’d love to connect with you, Rose!

rent control now!

Ditto, Rose! We have a great group of folks in Eugene who have talked about this, too. Were you at our happy hour on Thurs?

Brilliant work KellySue! Shows that this is possible!

KellySue and and S, that is such incredible work. Thank you

What does this National SURJ strategy focused on electoral work look like for those of us in areas without a Working Families Party presence such as here in Ventura County in Southern California?

There will be an ‘Opt in” plan for folks connected to SURJ no matter where you are and no matter whether WFP is there (yet:)

Carla is right, as usual. there’s also no barrier no matter where you live. WFP is a national party and will engage and support SURJ no matter where you are in the country.

That is a great idea to target sheriffs and da's
