30-Day Community Racial Equity Challenge

A DCHS CONNECT NEWS HIGHLIGHT 

October 28, 2021--The City of Alexandria and ACT for Alexandria are proud to offer a community “30-Day Racial Equity Challenge,” inviting community members and City staff to join in facilitated conversations scheduled for consecutive Wednesdays, from 12:30–1:30 p.m., on October 27, and November 3, 10 and 17.

The 30-Day Racial Equity Challenge is an educational tool used to advance a 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. Read the Equity Challenge webpage.
