Block by Block Training & Action Series

  • Virtual event - Join from anywhere! (map)

Join us for our 'Block by Block' Training & Action Series—a hands-on program designed to help you launch and lead a team for 2026 national campaign!

Block by Block: Solidarity Rising is SURJ’s 2026 national campaign to elect champions for working people, block MAGA, and fight for the future we deserve. We do this through three strategies: Mobilize through mass action, elect working-class champions, and grow a strong, active base. Join us for this training series to get skilled up in everything you need to show up for the fight in 2026!

We are now in a decisive phase of the fight against authoritarianism, the threat is real and the stakes are high. And people are fighting back. Millions have protested, and we've watched powerful organizing coming out of Minneapolis, Chicago, and other cities that have borne the brunt of ICE's assaults on our communities. Mass anger exists, but mass organization does not yet exist at the scale needed to win. Movements become real when they reach millions: organized, trained, and acting together.

This online training series is designed to train and support hundreds of teams across the country-- whether brand new or chapters that have been with us for years-- to organize with SURJ's Block by Block strategy in our communities for this year. We will deepen organizing skills, align with shared strategy, and be ready to take coordinated action locally.

We’ll meet every other week online for training. On the off weeks, your group will gather locally to practice skills, grow your base, and take action. Don't have a group yet? Don't worry, we'll help you get started!

This training series will consist of three modules, each focused on one part of our strategy:

Elect Module — May 13, 2026

Learn why governing power is a key part of our strategy and the role your circle, chapter, or group can play in supporting progressive candidates and blocking MAGA power.

By the end of this series, your group will be ready to grow your base, mobilize for action, and take part in electoral strategy. We’ll provide all the structure, toolkits, and guidance you need to plug into our national program and make a real difference—block by block.

We encourage at least one member from every group, circle, or chapter to join, but ideally more! Sign up for all the sessions—even if you can’t make them all, we’ll send recordings so you won’t miss anything. And for more info on the Block-by-Block campaign, check out the 1-pager by clicking HERE.
