In addition, I have attached information extending the opportunity to sponsor or partner with YWCA Northeast Kansas in serving the Greater Topeka area on this monumental movement of change.

This year, we are excited to introduce the Stand Against Racism Challenge to help foster a virtual community of growth and learning around social, systemic, and institutional racial inequity. This YWCA USA national initiative, created in partnership with YWCA Greater Cleveland, is designed to create dedicated time and space to build more effective social justice habits, particularly those dealing with race, power, privilege, and leadership. This opportunity is open to anyone and will provide participants with daily challenges such as reading an article, listening to a podcast, reflecting on personal experiences, and so much more.

Participation in this virtual community of growth helps us discover how racial and social injustice impact our community, connect, and identify ways to dismantle racism and other forms of discrimination.

It was such a delight to talk with Joe Brummer, author of  "Building A Trauma-Informed Restorative School." 

Joe's book IS my most post-it noted book from 2021!
