Congratulations! You’ve made it to the end of YWCA Spokane’s 21-Day Stand Against Racism Challenge!
These 21 days were crafted to help you learn, grow, and stretch. The Challenge is a great step, but it is only the beginning; with this learning comes the responsibility of taking action in your daily life. Our commitment to the work of racial equity and social justice mobilizes us to speak up and do the work everyday.
Completing this challenge is a great way to strengthen your social justice muscles. It is important to recognize that “choosing” to learn or talk about race is not a privilege everyone has. We must remain actively engaged and speak truth within our spheres of influence, even when it’s difficult. Have these conversations with coworkers, family, and friends. You might be the source of information they trust or inspire them to learn more on their own.
There is no perfect way to have these conversations. But when we lean in instead of shying away, become stronger. Even when we can’t find the right words, we always need to try. As we continue these conversations, our confidence grows and it becomes more achievable to disrupt injustice.
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
It is always the time to speak up. Together, we can eliminate racism in our community.

YWCA and Racial Justice
YWCA agencies across the country are commitment to racial justice and civil rights. Collectively, we are committed to ensuring that everyone is afforded equal protection under the law, and our intersectional mission to eliminate racism and empower women demands that we show up to advocate against the oppression that many groups and individuals endure, including through recognizing the interconnected experiences of discrimination and disadvantage that women face from their overlapping identities.
Too often, stereotypes, biases, and racial power dynamics are embedded in our laws and public policies. They are also reflected in the use of racial profiling, heightened surveillance tactics, targeted enforcement strategies, and other practices that increase policing of certain racial and ethnic communities (but not others) that lead to criminalization and often the death of people of color.
