Giving Up Racism for Lent Campaign

March 2nd, 2022 - April 10th, 2022

 

This campaign will answer the question we often hear from people: “What can I do to dismantle racism?”. Whether you are the target of racism, a person who has done a racist act, or a person who is a witness to a racist act, this campaign can help you answer that question for yourself.

We hope you will join us for 40 days of self-reflection, resources and tips to start or reinvigorate your antiracism journey.

You can sign up to receive daily resources and content or follow us on social media.
