21 Day Equity Challenge: Palo Alto Unified School District and Partners

About this event

Palo Alto Unified School District is pleased to invite you to join our 21-Day Racial Equity Habit Forming Challenge! We appreciate the community partners who joined us to launch this Challenge: The City of Palo Alto, Youth Community Service and the Palo Alto PTA Council.

We cannot achieve equity and justice for all Palo Alto residents, students and employees without challenging our belief systems about 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 education, laws, institutions and systems. This is a powerful opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of how inequity and racism affect our lives and our community.

Join the Challenge: Learn. Reflect. Act.

• For 21 days during Black History Month, you are encouraged to do one activity to deepen community connections and further our understanding of power, privilege, supremacy, oppression, and equity.

• Each daily activity is ~15 minutes: short, engaging & thought provoking. You will have access to additional resources and to a discussion forum.

• No cost to participate; open to anyone who is interested in building a community that is inclusive and accepting of all individuals regardless of the color of their skin or background.

A Safe and Brave Space

Your registration and participation in this event confirms your agreement to PAUSD’s Non-Discrimination Policy*. When you engage in the discussion fourm; you will help create a Safe and Brave space by honoring these community guidelines (adapted from Courageous Conversations):

• Stay engaged: Staying engaged means “remaining morally, emotionally, intellectually, and socially involved in the dialogue”

• Experience discomfort: This norm acknowledges that discomfort is inevitable, especially, in dialogue about race, and that participants make a commitment to bring issues into the open. It is not talking about these issues that create divisiveness. The divisiveness already exists in the society and in our schools. It is through dialogue, even when uncomfortable, the healing and change begin.

• Speak your truth: This means being open about thoughts and feelings and not just saying what you think others want to hear.

• Expect and accept non-closure: This agreement asks participants to “hang out in uncertainty” and not rush to quick solutions, especially in relation to racial understanding, which requires ongoing dialogue.

• Calling People In: Developing racial and equity awareness is a lifelong journey that we are all on together. It is important to recognize that where you are in your journey may not be where someone else is in theirs. When someone missteps, we encourage you to call them in, with kindness and care, in order to support everyone’s individual growth.

Behavior, posts, or comments outside of these community guidelines, or that violate Palo Alto Unified School District’s Non-Discrimination Policy, will result in deleted posts and/or restricted access to event activities.
