YMCA 21-DAY EQUITY CHALLENGE
January 11-31, 2021
The 21-Day Equity Challenge is a powerful opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of how inequity affects our lives and our communities. We are inviting our staff, leaders, members, and communities to join us as we explore bias, food insecurity, racial injustice, systems thinking, dimensions of diversity, health disparities, and more, by taking the 21-Day Equity Challenge.
Participants will receive daily email prompts to engage in readings, conversations, podcasts, and videos to introduce them to, or further their knowledge on, topics aimed at understanding and advancing equity.

ABOUT THE 21-DAY EQUITY CHALLENGE
Working towards advancing equity is a collective effort that requires individual, organizational and societal change. There is no equity without action. Equity is an outcome of intentional and community-driven diversity, inclusion and engagement work towards systems change to strengthen a foundation that ensures fair and impartial treatment for everyone.
This 21 days is our commitment to taking action, to learn and unlearn, to grow and reflect, and to do it together.
