Our Equity Work

After much work and listening on the subject of race, equity and inclusion, we have developed a better understanding of the challenges our community faces when it comes to racial inequities. These inequities contribute to the disparities we see in the areas of health, education and financial stability and will continue to hold us back until we address them. Below, you’ll learn about the tactics United Way of Racine County has developed to progress towards equity and how you can get involved.

21-Week Equity Challenge

Text says, "21 Week Equity Challenge."The 21-Week Equity Challenge is an opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of how inequity and racism affect our lives and communities. The topics listed below take participants on a journey that starts with understanding internalized racism and inequity and explores how racism and inequity permeate individual interactions, institutions and social structures.

Participants can review the emails listed below to deepen their understanding of inequity and racism, explore ways to take action and help launch what we hope will be a lifelong commitment to improving equity and inclusion in our communities. Individuals are encouraged to form groups for discussion and reflection - or take the challenge as an individual learning opportunity.
