Dear all,

Best,

Registration is open 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

All teaching and learning takes place on Indigenous Lands. I am located on
Massachusett land in "Ckuwaponakik," now called New England. The word means
the land of the people where the sun first looks our way.
