Take the YWCA Racial Justice Challenge

The YWCA Racial Justice Challenge is designed to create dedicated time and space to build more effective social justice habits, particularly those dealing with issues of race, power, privilege, and leadership. The Challenge works to foster personal reflection, encourage social responsibility, and motivate participants to identify and act on ways to dismantle racism and other forms of discrimination.

This year, our racial justice campaign, Until Justice Just Is (UJJI), centers around the theme Equity in Action: Exposing Myths and Redefining Justice, and it will be based on the topics for the 2025 YWCA Racial Justice Challenge, which will be:
Age Of Misinformation/Disinformation
Interpersonal Racism
The American Dream
Racialization Of Crime
