Confronting deeply ingrained racist systems and structures in our communities and country takes sensitivity and stamina. The challenge invites us to do something every day to raise awareness about the perniciousness of racism and encourage action in response to that awareness.
For the nineteenth day of the challenge:
- Notice the structures and practices in your church. Raise questions about how they help or hinder racial equity.
- We also want to share resources about noticing how racism affects you personally since being at church is not possible now. Listen to Mary Bassett's "How does racism affects your health" and Listen to the podcast On Being's interview with Resmaa Menakem "Notice the Rage; Notice the Silence".
