Our 10th edition of the Equity Challenge will take place February 2nd through February 6th
Data for action
In partnership with DataHaven, our Equity Challenge will feature access to key data about the day’s theme, a story featuring lived experience relating to the theme, and actions community members can take.
Join us for the kickoff webinar on Thursday, January 29th from 3PM to 4PM - a dynamic panel discussion on how data can drive equity in our communities. This conversation will explore the power, and responsibility, of using data to understand disparities and create meaningful change. Our panel will feature:
- DataHaven – offering a behind-the-scenes look at their reports and data collection process.
- Connecticut Commission on Women, Children, Seniors, Equity and Opportunity – sharing insights on equity initiatives and policy implications.
- United Way of Connecticut – discussing ALICE data and what it reveals about financial hardship in our state.
- A Greater New Haven nonprofit leader – illustrating how organizations use data to educate, advocate, and tell their story.

About the Equity Challenge
The Equity Challenge is a personal and collective commitment to spend just 10–15 minutes a day for 5 days engaging with curated resources that deepen our understanding of equity — and how bias, privilege, oppression, and trauma show up in our everyday lives.
Each Challenge centers on a different issue, exploring the history, systems, and real lived experiences that shape inequities in our communities. Participants receive a daily email that includes a brief topic overview and a variety of ways to learn: articles to read, videos to watch, podcasts to listen to, and real-world actions to consider. You choose how you want to engage.
By growing our awareness of how equity — or the lack of it — impacts people across our community, we can take meaningful steps towards advocating for change. Whether you're just starting out or continuing a lifelong learning journey, the Equity Challenge is for everyone.
