Day 21 Collective Care
Day 21 Collective Care
Hello,

For our final day of the 21-Day Challenge, we’re turning our focus to collective care. Collective care encourages everyone to look out for each other, which means making authentic connections and supporting one another. Collective care encourages inclusivity and anti-racism by looking out for the BIPOC communities that continually face exclusionary and racist acts.  

Today's Challenge activities remind us of why this is critically important work and why we should take care of one another.
