Register: CA4Health’s January-February 2024 21-Day Racial Equity & Social Justice Challenge

How do I know if I am up for the Challenge?

This challenge was created for anyone interested in learning, analyzing and reflecting more about racial equity and examining these issues in our own communities—whether you consider yourself an ally, advocate or an interested community member, this challenge is for you.

What is racial equity?

It is both an outcome and a process. As a process, we apply racial equity to policies, systems, structures and institutions by analyzing data so we can identify, uncover and remove barriers that produce disparate (unfavorable) outcomes based on race. As an outcome, racial equity is the condition that would be achieved if one’s racial identity no longer predicted, in a statistical sense, how one fares in society.

Why should a group or team at my organization do the Challenge?

This Challenge is one of the most powerful interventions an organization can do to build community and create an inclusive culture. The Challenge can lead to transformative results, including:

• Building new, positive habits that can change ourselves, our teams, our organizations and our communities.
• Taking small actions alongside one another to create momentum and a sense of teamwork.
• Creating a profound, elevating experience to increase the likelihood that participants will take action.
• Participating in meaningful conversations about racism and social justice.
