What is the Community Justice Challenge?

YWCA’s Community Justice Challenge is our FREE community-wide challenge, part of a national movement to understand how issues of race, power, access, and leadership show up in everyday life. This challenge is a daily journey of small but meaningful actions.

We believe each powerful step gets us closer to building a united South Florida where everyone thrives. The Challenge works to foster personal reflection, encourage social responsibility, and motivate participants to learn together, find and act on ways to address these issues. From reading articles, to listening to podcasts, to engaging in conversations about social issues that impact all of us, the YWCA Community Justice Challenge creates dedicated time and space over 21 days for participants to discover how injustice impact our community, connect with one another, and identify ways to dismantle inequities and other forms of discrimination.

Whether this is your first step toward learning about justice and equity or you are leading the way in your circle, last year’s Community Justice Challenge, held April 17-May 15, 2023, was full of new, actionable steps to creating equity and prosperity for all.
