21 Day Racial Equity Challenge

The 21 Day Racial Equity Challenge is designed to create dedicated time and space to build more effective social justice habits, particularly those dealing with issues of race, power, privilege, and leadership. Participants will be prompted with 21 days of challenges such as reading an article, listening to a podcast, and reflecting on personal experience. Participation in an activity like this helps us to discover how race and social injustice impact our community, to connect with one another, to identify ways to dismantle racism and other forms of discrimination. This challenge was originally developed by Dr. Eddie Moore, Jr. and Debby Irving and has been adapted for use by many organizations across the country. We would like to thank the Michigan League for Public Policy whose challenge we have used as a model and modified to highlight racial inequities that are relevant today.

There are many versions of the 21 Day Challenge. Our version of the challenge was not part of a nationwide challenge but was instead a modified challenge made specifically for the SBLSD community.
