2021-04-05, 2021-04-02, 2021-03-29, 2021-03-26, 2021-03-22, 2021-03-19, 2021-03-15, 2021-03-12
The 21 Week Equity Challenge is an opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of how inequity and racism affect our lives and communities.

Participants will receive an email at the beginning of each week from Monday, February 1st through Monday, June 21st.
Weekly topics take participants through a journey that starts with understanding internalized racism and explores how racism permeates person-to-person interactions, institutions and social structures.
The experience is intended to deepen understanding, suggest ways to take action, and help launch what we hope will be a lifelong commitment to improving equity and inclusion in our communities.

Individuals are encouraged to take on the challenge themselves, or form groups for discussion and reflection.
