Seasons Greetings!
There are a ton of cliche sayings about the year “just flying by,” but seriously…where did 2021 go? Weren’t we lamenting the horrors of 2020 and creating new vision boards just yesterday!
While it’s flown by, I’m most excited about what 2021 has meant for 2022 and beyond at Surge. We’ve endured and grown stronger amidst the challenges of this year. The Surge Ahead, our bold new multi-year strategy, represents an inflection point for our movement. One that will elevate and unite 5,000 leaders of color by 2030. While building for the future, we’ve launched the Surge Academy in Washington D.C. and continued to pour our hearts and spirits into serving our growing network of fellows and alumni in Chicago, Oakland, Indianapolis, and Kansas City.
As you read this newsletter and learn what 2021 has been for Surge and what’s ahead for the movement, consider investing. Right now. We are deep into our #SurgeForMore season of giving, and we would love for you to help us reach our goal of $150,000 by the end of the year.
Where did 2021 go? It’s in the books, as another powerful chapter in the story of our people as we push toward true racial equity and a bright future for our young people. Thank you for being a part of this movement.
