Since our founding, the Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice has worked to educate, advocate, convene, and inspire action for racial equity across Sussex County and Delaware. As we mark our 10th anniversary, we’re growing our committees — and we need you.
In 2019, SDARJ brought Sussex County something it had never quite seen: a structured, frank, and completely free conversation about racism. The program began as Dialogue to End Racism, a nationally recognized YWCA curriculum. SDARJ obtained permission to use it, then adapted it for the realities of Southern Delaware and gave it a new name — Dialogue Toward Ending Racism, or DTER.
It’s Our 10th Birthday!
Celebrate with us at the Gala!
Including special guests U.S. Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester and U.S. Rep. Sarah McBride
