For today's Challenge, we will be discussing wealth, jobs, and more, considering the question: "What's the value of a dollar?" This question has a multitude of answers based on a person's race, national origin, education, and other circumstantial factors out of their control. The origins of the financial systems in the United States are complex, and in many ways, built and dependent on the exploitation of the labor of BIPOC folks.  

The following Challenge activities will discuss this issue further, including the value of money and the valuation of jobs primarily held by BIPOC folks, complicating access to essentials like housing and healthcare. 

There are so many ways to engage in this year's 21-Day Challenge, featuring new and improved tools to help you reflect, discuss, and make connections through the Challenge. Check them out, and don't forget to use #YWCAEquityChallenge!
