The 40 Days of Engagement on Anti-Racism series offers opportunities to delve deeply into anti-racism work. Each day’s content offers opportunities for learning, reflection, and advocacy. There are activities suitable for adults and children, and they can be done alone, as a family, or in groups.
Follow along with this schedule that shows what topics will be covered each day. In addition, each Wednesday evening, there is an opportunity to gather on zoom to watch a video by one of the leaders of this program, followed by a time of discussion and debrief.
