Racial Justice Challenge

The YWCA Racial Justice 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.
The Challenge works to foster personal reflection, encourage social responsibility, and motivate participants to identify and act on ways to dismantle racism and other forms of discrimination.

For eight weeks (June 2 - July 25, 2025), daily challenge activities (reading an article, listening to a podcast, etc.) are posted in the Challenge app and website, allowing participants to connect with one another, discover how racial and social injustice impact our communities, and identify ways to dismantle racism and other forms of discrimination.

Are you ready to take the challenge?

How does it work?
This year’s Challenge will run from June 2 – July 25 and every two weeks will focus on topics related to The Age of Misinformation/ Disinformation, Interpersonal Racism, The American Dream, and The Racialization of Crime.
