21 Day Racial Equity Habit Building Challenge

Have you ever made a successful change in your community? Change is hard – just like some of the current discussions on racial equity and police brutality.

Providing a framework for self reflection and understanding, the Auburn and Lewiston Public Libraries encourage community members to take part in the 21-Day Racial Equity Habit Building Challenge starting July 13th. Details on the challenge can be found on the web at https://www.eddiemoorejr.com/21daychallenge.

The challenge asks participants to do one action for 21 days to further their understanding of power, privilege, supremacy, oppression, and equity. The challenge includes suggestions for readings, podcasts, videos, observations, and ways to form and deepen community connections and understanding. Many of these suggested activities take only minutes.

RSVP to the Facebook event to get reminders and recommendations on what to read, watch, listen, notice, connect, and engage with to start building racial equity habits.

The challenge was developed by the America & Moore, LLC which provides diversity and cultural competency trainings and workshops for K-12 schools, community organizations, businesses, colleges and universities. Challengers can use the plan just as it is, or adapt it to a sector, an ethnic/racial group, or interest area.
