The first week of SIBA's 21-Day Racial Equity Challenge is underway, with a theme of learning to recognize and counter bias -- both conscious and unconscious -- within ourselves and our immediate social circle.

Each morning participants receive an email prompt which includes some questions to reflect on and ideas for turning those reflections into actions. The email also provides a list of tools and resources to help.

SIBA has kept the 21-Day Challenge registration open for booksellers who would still like to join in. Booksellers can also participate by visiting the 21-Day Challenge Blog, where each day's prompt is posted when it is emailed out.

And two new resources are now available:

21-Day Challenge Edelweiss Collection: Over thirty books are mentioned or discussed in the 21-Day Challenge, making this collection a foundation for an Anti-Racist reference library.

DEI Resource Library: All the tools, documents, video links, and resources included in the 21-Day Challenge are also in its companion Resource Library. The library is fully searchable and can be filtered by the Day or the Week of the Challenge. There are over 40 listings related to the first week alone.
