<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">I hope this message finds you well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Several colleagues and I have designed the Racial Justice Challenge, which will run the week of August 3rd. Anyone with an internet connection and an email address can join. In case
you or someone you know is interested, here's the info:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The Racial Justice Challenge is around the corner and we hope you'll join us! Each day, for five days, you'll receive an email with several tasks designed to learn, listen, share,
and take action regarding race, racism, and antiracism. We'll explore how to be antiracist (versus "not racist"), move beyond a single story, examine issues of race in the media, and design a personalized racial justice plan. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The Challenge will take place from August 3 - August 7, 2020. To join, <a href="https://forms.gle/CgBpNeWKRhTjEjcZ7" title="https://forms.gle/CgBpNeWKRhTjEjcZ7"><span style="color:windowtext">sign
up online</span></a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">We encourage everyone who's interested in the materials to sign up - even if you won't have time to complete the tasks during the Challenge week. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Please share <a href="https://forms.gle/CgBpNeWKRhTjEjcZ7" title="https://forms.gle/CgBpNeWKRhTjEjcZ7"><span style="color:windowtext">this challenge</span></a> with friends, colleagues,

community members, K-12 teachers, school librarians, and even high school students signed up!). I hope you and others in your communities will join us. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
