The Michigan League for Public Policy is pleased to invite you to join our 21-Day Racial Equity Challenge! We would like to thank Food Solutions New England, whose Challenge we have used as a model and adapted to highlight racial inequity and our related policy priorities here in Michigan.

Several years ago, the League made a decision to apply a racial equity lens to our mission. The disparities in health, wealth and well-being that we seek to eradicate are largely a result of racism enshrined in public policy over the course of U.S. history. Today, we cannot hope to achieve our mission of economic security for all Michiganders 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.

Signing up for the Challenge today will give you access to our tools and discussion forum along with emails to guide you along the way. The Challenge is open to anyone who is interested in doing the hard work of combating white supremacy, so please share the link with friends and colleagues who might be interested. There is no cost to participate.
