TAKE THE CHALLENGE!

WILL YOU MAKE RACIAL EQUITY A HABIT? The 21-Day Racial Equity & Social Justice Challenge, powered by United Way of Delaware (UWDE) and YWCA Delaware (YWCA), is your chance to build more effective social justice habits, particularly those dealing with issues of race, power, privilege, and leadership, by joining thousands of other Delawareans in a 21-day journey of self-discovery that you complete online, wherever you are comfortable. Registered participants are prompted with a daily e-mail challenge--such as reading an article, listening to a podcast, or watching a video--and are then encouraged to reflect on that content and to relate the situation to their own lives. Emails will begin going out to registered participants on Monday, August 17 through Monday, September 14 (21 business days). UWDE and YWCA will also be facilitating conversations in the 21 Day Racial Equity Challenge Facebook group, where participants can discuss the content and engage with others taking the challenge.
