Wilmington, DE - YWCA Delaware joins hundreds of YWCAs across the country to launch the Stand Against Racism Challenge on April 4, 2022.
This reboot of last year's "21-Day Racial and Social Justice Challenge," takes place over 4 weeks. As a virtual community, participants will dive deep into the timely issues of Critical Race Theory, Living Wage, Media, and Women's Health.
By downloading the YWCA SAR Challenge App or visiting the SAR Challenge website, participants can engage with one or all curated articles, podcasts, videos, activities, and discussion boards. The SAR Challenge goes live Monday, April 4, and continues (Monday –Friday) through May 2. Each Monday, YWCA Delaware will offer its virtual "Let's Talk" panel series to discuss the previous week's topic beginning at 7 p.m. The schedule is:
April 11, Inclusive American History
April 18, What does "Living Wage" really mean
April 25, Racism in Film and Television
May 2, Women's Health
YWCA Delaware has a bold mission statement of Eliminating Racism & Empowering Women. YWCA keeps Delawareans engaged in this work by providing tools to help participants take direct action in furthering their learning.
YWCA invites all Delawareans to explore and gain an understanding of racial equity and social justice through this nationwide, free online Challenge. This Challenge is designed to help participants create meaningful change, connect with others, advance their racial equity journey, and build a more equitable community. Participants are invited to join individually or as a group with a company or organization. Groups entering the Challenge will receive discussion guidelines for group engagements.
Registration for the Challenge and Let's Talk Series is open now on YWCA Delaware's website.
