- Understand the origins of the concept of race, how it influences us as individuals and as a culture, and how it functions to preserve inequity in our laws, institutions, and systems.
- Inspect the disparities in health, wealth and well-being that are largely a result of racism enshrined in public policy over the course of U.S. history.
- WUUC is trying this out as an unmoderated learning group in November. We will then review and evaluate running it again next year.

Why are we doing this? Without understanding the origins of the concept of race, how it influences us as individuals and as an organization, and how it functions to preserve inequity in our laws, institutions and systems we won’t be able to truly achieve the justice, equity, and compassion in human relations that we’re committed to as UUs.
By signing up you’ll receive the Zoom link for the challenge kick-off, a link to the daily challenge content, weekly reminders, and the opportunity to share your thoughts and plans with others participating as part of this WUUC community activity.
