Big Day of Giving Is Just A Month Away
On Big Day of Giving, caring people across the Sacramento region will come together to give to the local nonprofits they love—and, after a year of hardship, help make our community stronger, more equitable, and more vibrant than ever. This is a perfect way to support Uplift People of Elk Grove and those we serve in the effort to break the cycle of poverty.
 
Big Day of Giving is a community-wide movement that's raised more than $52 million for hundreds of nonprofits in El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, and Yolo counties since 2013. Their mission is focusing on the root causes of local challenges, seeking solutions with long-term results, and supporting the organizations like Uplift People of Elk Grove that tend to the vital needs of the capital area. This helps create the conditions for meaningful transformation in the Sacramento region.

Equality, Equity, Justice and Liberation.
The problem with that equity vs. equality graphic. 
The problem with the graphic has to do with where the initial inequity is located. In the graphic, some people need more support to see over the fence because they are shorteran issue inherent to the people themselves. That’s fine if we’re talking about height, but if this is supposed to be a metaphor for other inequities, it becomes problematic
