Community 30-Day Racial Equity Challenge

The City of Alexandria and ACT for Alexandria are proud to offer a community “30-Day Racial Equity Challenge,” and invite community members and City staff

30 Day Racial Equity Challenge

to join in facilitated conversations starting Wednesday, March 2, 2022.

The 30-Day Racial Equity Challenge is an educational tool used to advance deeper understanding of the intersections of race, power, privilege, supremacy and oppression. The Challenge invites participants to complete 30 short assignments, over 30 consecutive days, which include readings, videos or podcasts.

The goal is to increase knowledge and understanding and engage people as we continue our racial equity journey. Participants are free to start at their own pace and opt out of participating along the way. The 30-Day Racial Equity Challenge is only an introduction to what we hope will be a growing and learning experience in our journey to achieving race and social equity for all Alexandrians.

Review the 30-Day Racial Equity Challenge syllabus, and register online for one or more of the facilitated conversations, which are scheduled for five consecutive Wednesdays starting March 2:

  • March 2, 12 p.m.-1 p.m.
  • March 9, 12 p.m.-1 p.m.
  •  March 16, 12 p.m.-1 p.m.
  • March 23, 12 p.m.-1 p.m.
  • March 30, 12 p.m.-1 p.m.
