LISTEN LEARN ACT ANTI-RACISM CHALLENGE

On October 3, Listen Learn Act will kick off our 20^th quarterly Anti-Racism Challenge.

At this time, unity for our country and community is foremost in our minds. Though we all wish it were no longer necessary, we still need to work toward equity. That’s what the Anti-Racism Challenge is all about: staying aware of the racism that still plagues us and proactively working to change it. We hope this city-wide Challenge will reach every corner of Louisville.

Take the City-wide 4-Week Anti-Racism Challenge sponsored by Listen Learn Act!

How it works: For 4 weeks, beginning October 3, participants will receive a weekly email with a list of 10-12 anti-racism activities (read an article, watch a video, visit a Black-owned business, etc.) We ask participants to complete 3 of the activities over the course of the week. It is purely personal; you don't report to anyone. By regularly participating in anti-racism activities, we naturally develop better habits of noticing and challenging racism in our daily lives.
