Recognizing and correcting racism is not a one-time event; rather, it is an ongoing process. Conventional wisdom says it takes about three weeks to form a new habit, so the 21-Day Racial Equity Challenge can help all of us cultivate self-awareness and intentionality to affect social change.

Whether you are a new ally in the racial equity movement or a seasoned veteran, we invite you to join us for this exercise in self-reflection, learning, and connection. As this is a voluntary exercise, do not feel pressured to complete every listed activity each day. We will present a variety of options so you can engage based on your learning style and the time you have available. The point is simply to make a habit of doing something each day to broaden your perspective, identify topics for deeper learning on your own, and better equip yourself to combat racism.

Use this log to track your participation. Make note of feelings and insights you experience along the way. Working through the program with others or as part of a group is a great way to broaden your experience.

This program originally ran in January of 2021, with moderated Zoom discussions at the end of each week. We discussed the content, our own feelings, experiences and perspectives. While these discussions aren't scheduled programmatically in this version of the challenge, feel free to host your own! We scheduled them on Days 7, 14 and 21.
