Welcome! We’re so glad you’re interested in learning more about Western WashCo for Racial Justice (WWRJ). We hope the following info is helpful and welcome your questions and conversation. We started out as a local SURJ group for Forest Grove, organizing white people for racial and economic justice. In August 2021 we joined the Rural Organizing Project (ROP) family of human dignity groups. In December 2021 we expanded and restructured into WWRJ, a larger, more diverse team including people of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds, including white members who continue to do specific work from SURJ.
