Monday, April 3 – Sunday, April 21 – 21-Day Racial Equity Habit Building Challenge
Food Solutions New England will host the 9th version of its food system-oriented free 21-Day Racial Equity Habit-Building Challenge from April 3, 2023 to April 23, 2023. Click here to register. When FSNE first developed this customized version of the Challenge, inspired by the work of Debby Irving and Dr. Eddie Moore, Jr., they intended it to have a food system focus. While many other organizations have been inspired by FSNE’s interactive and customized version, this is the one that focuses most deeply on food, food systems, agriculture, land access, and topics near and dear to the group’s Vision and Values.
Each year, thousands of individuals and hundreds of officially participating organizations join in a shared journey of learning and charting a course of action to dismantle racism in our food system and our world.
About the Challenge
The 21-Day Racial Equity Habit Building Challenge is simple. You commit to deepening your understanding of, and willingness to confront, racism for twenty-one consecutive days in April of each year and the Racial Equity Challenge will:
- Raise your awareness, change your understanding and shift the way you behave.
- Go beyond individual or interpersonal racism by helping to demystify structural and institutional racism and white supremacist patterns that are sometimes invisible to people.
- Inspire you to act, on your own or with others in your organization, business, or group, to dismantle these systems, to make changes in your work and the world that can build true equity and justice for all.
