for the 2020 Racial Equity Challenge! March 30 through April 19, 2020. The
21-Day Racial Equity Habit Building Challenge (aka the Racial Equity
Challenge) is simple!
You (along with thousands of other people across the US) commit to
deepening your understanding of, and willingness to confront, racism for
twenty-one consecutive days. At the very least, the Challenge will raise
your awareness. But for many participants it goes beyond that and changes
they way they see and interact with the world.
What exactly happens during the Challenge?
During every morning of the Challenge, you’ll receive an email “prompt”
with a short reading, video or audio file. You are encouraged to take about
ten to fifteen minutes each day with the material in the prompt, though we
will provide extra resources in case you want to dig further into the day’s
topic. You have the option to log into our online forums (links will be
provided) if you’d like to discuss the prompts in a supported and moderated
environment. We also encourage you to share your experience on social media
using the hashtag #FSNEEquityChallenge.

Hello dear Neighbors,
I hope this email finds you well. A few weeks ago our documentary film
*Dawnland* won an Emmy for Outstanding Research at a wonderful ceremony
in NYC. As you might imagine, I am over-the-moon thrilled by this
recognition of our research efforts and the importance of the story the
film tells. You can learn about it here: dawnland.org Many of you have
asked me when/where you can see the film. There will be a free online
global screening on Tuesday, November 12 at 6:30pm hosted by our friends at
OVEE (which works with ITVS and PBS). You can RSVP for the screening here:
https://ovee.itvs.org/screenings/i8jq6 There will be a live Q&A after the
screening and I'll be there to hear comments and answer questions.
And, the Watertown Public Library will host a free screening of *Dawnland*
on Wednesday, January 29 at 6:30pm. It would be lovely to see you there.
Gratefully,
-Mishy
