2024 Equity Challenge
Today's Challenge
Act
- Join us for today’s Community Action Friday project at Avalon Healing Center, our Challenge Community Partner that developed this past week’s Day 10 on Human Trafficking. Today’s project will include a learning session on anti-trafficking and Avalon’s work with time to debrief with other challenge participants. You can get more information and sign up on our volunteer portal.
- Want to take part in our virtual action day taking place all challenge long? You can sign up on our volunteer portal and support our book drive to fill United Way’s Little Free Libraries through June 14, no matter where you live. This initiative helps increase free access to reading materials in our community. Anyone can participate in this virtual opportunity (even if you’re outside of Michigan). Follow this link for more information including which books to buy and where to send them.
- Last Friday, our action item was to start a conversation with someone in your community on a topic that resonated with you or challenged you this week. If you haven’t done this yet, now is your time! If you did do this, reflect on the following questions and next steps:
- How did talking to someone go? What went well? What didn’t go well? How can you keep this person connected to the conversation moving forward
- What tools can you take from the challenge to apply to your life? Start to pull them out and bookmark/make a folder to return to later.
