21 Day Equity Challenge

GETTING STARTED

Welcome to the 21-Day Equity Challenge. Thank you for making the time to connect, reflect, and participate in this Challenge to develop a deeper understanding of how inequity and racism affect our lives and our community.

Why an equity challenge? This challenge is an opportunity for all of us to learn and grow together while building a habit of gaining a deeper understanding of equity. When change starts within enough of us, together, we can make progress toward becoming an equitable community - for all.

Before you get started, we encourage you to download your 21 Day Equity Challenge Tracking Log—a tool to ensure you are taking full advantage of what the challenge has to offer. We want to thank United Way of Long Island and United Way of Iowa for sharing content.

Throughout this challenge information from the ALICE Report for Long Island will be presented to provided data associated with the topics. ALICE stands for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. It represents individuals and families who earn more than the Federal Poverty Level, but not enough to cover the basic cost of living, called the ALICE threshold, in their counties. The data provided in the reports can help inform strategies for positive community change.
