ABOUT THE EQUITY CHALLENGE
The Equity Challenge is a personal and collective commitment to spend just 10–15 minutes a day for 5 days engaging with curated resources that deepen our understanding of equity — and how bias, privilege, oppression, and trauma show up in our everyday lives.
Each Challenge centers on a different issue, exploring the history, systems, and real lived experiences that shape inequities in our communities. Participants receive a daily email that includes a brief topic overview and a variety of ways to learn: articles to read, videos to watch, podcasts to listen to, and real-world actions to consider. You choose how you want to engage.
By growing our awareness of how equity — or the lack of it — impacts people across our community, we can take meaningful steps towards advocating for change. Whether you're just starting out or continuing a lifelong learning journey, the Equity Challenge is for everyone.
