Lost River Racial Justice is dedicated to small town and rural multiracial organizing to dismantle white-supremacy and transfer power and resources to Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities.
We are an affiliate of Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ). We welcome all people to join our work, and we strive to maintain strong accountable relationships with BIPOC-led organizations.
Lost River Racial Justice is a majority-white organizing group that works in close partnership and accountability with the Root Social Justice Center. LRRJ supports white people in the learning, healing, and actions necessary to dismantle white supremacy. As white folks, we have a responsibility to organize with each other to uproot racism, and our accountability relationships with BIPOC-led organizations are central in guiding our efforts. We are based in Brattleboro, Vermont, and draw our name from the Abenaki name for these lands where we live and work.
We recognize the important role white folks have in educating our/themselves and taking action to end racism and work towards liberation for all people. Living in predominantly white communities and predominantly white states, it is imperative for us to build relationships within white communities that use our collective power and privilege to support and uplift BIPOC organizing, communities, voices, and experiences.
