20-Day Social Justice Challenge Template

Name__________________________________________

Please note all activities can be completed without leaving your home. We do not want you take any action that will put your health at risk. Remember your actions should be impactful to you and/or others. Actions should be evenly distributed amongst the 5 categories of Read, Watch/Listen, Connect, Engage and Act. Your actions should also involve an equal mix of activities surrounding issues on racial justice, LGBTQ+ rights, cultural identity, and gender equality. See examples below.

*Please note- if your assignment is focused too heavily on only one or two social justice issues and/or consists mainly of one or two categories of actions, you will not earn full points.

Action and Date	Social Justice Issue: Racial Justice; LGBTQ+ Rights; Cultural Identity; Gender Equality	Category: Read; Watch/Listen; Connect; Engage; Act	Description of the Action: Four to Five Sentences (Include the web address/link if using an online resource)
Example	Racial Justice	Watch/Listen	I watched a MSNBC clip on YouTube where Eddie Glaude Jr. explains that the U.S. has always had an issue with hatred and racism. He states the U.S. has been one of the few countries who refuses to acknowledge its existence. The other guests on the show seem to imply that former President Trump somehow caused the racism we see in society today. However, Mr. Glaude states that it’s always been here, many people simply refused to acknowledge it. “This is us,” he says. Eddie Glaude - This is Us MSNBC - YouTube
Example	Cultural Identity	Read	I read an article in The Seattle Times entitled “This Tribe helped the pilgrims survive for their first Thanksgiving. They still regret it 400 years later.” Since 1970, Native Americans have observed a “National Day of Mourning” on the 4th Thursday of November- America’s Thanksgiving. The article discusses the Wampanoag Nation, the original inhabitants of the area near Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts. It details the history between the Natives and the English as well as covers the actual events of the first Thanksgiving. It also discusses how the Wampanoag are still fighting the U.S. government for the land their people have inhabited for the past 10,000 years. https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation/this-tribe-helped-the-pilgrims-survive-for-their-first-thanksgiving-they-still-regret-it-400-years-later/?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=owned_echobox_f&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwAR10Ok-oN-2xXZVns3TgoSXfoMC50xmybOODf2KesISQPbqVMrXkx6tD7Lk#Echobox=1636046743
Example	LBGTQ+ Rights	Engage	I attended a virtual workshop hosted by OSU’s Office of Student Life called “LGBTQ 101.” I learned the about different identities and the history of the LGBTQ+ community along with common misconceptions and stereotypes. We learned the correct terminology and why using a person’s preferred pronouns is so important. Resources were given for those who wanted more information on becoming an ally. https://osu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAlduqvrzkpEtRruoL9izAF8Cr8c-OCUFPa
Example	Gender Equality	Connect	I followed the National Organization for Women (NOW) on Twitter and Facebook. I read several posts, reposted/retweeted some of them on my page and signed a current petition regarding women’s reproductive rights. I learned that they have a book club on Goodreads called the Feminist Public Square. I joined the book club and invited a few friends to join as well. I posted on the book club’s discussion board.
Example	Racial Justice	Act	The topic of privilege came up during a discussion with family members. I explained to them that privilege does not mean that they did not work hard for everything they have. I told them that a lot of people work equally as hard, but do not reap the same benefits because of the structural barriers that are in place in the U.S. I showed them the video we watched in class called “Deconstructing White Privilege” and we discussed what Dr. DiAngelo said.
