Until Justice Just Is provides the opportunity for communities across the United States to unite their voices to educate, advocate, and promote racial justice. Our campaign features a Racial Justice challenge that builds effective social justice habits; webinars aimed at guiding a society that encourages diversity; and an interactive, life-size board game called The Pursuit of Justice for individuals, companies, and groups of all kinds to participate in and learn from. Our collective efforts can root out injustice, transform institutions, and create a world that sees women, girls, and people of color the way we see them: EQUAL. POWERFUL. UNSTOPPABLE.
Until Justice Just Is Events
The Game of Equity
Each spring we create a life size interactive board game in Jackson Square Park. Participants are invited to walk through the park, play the game, and learn about race and gender equity.
In 2023, we played Pursuit of Justice: The Music Edition. Each stop on the game ‘board’ is a trivia question and each answer is a song written in the pursuit of justice.
Leaders Are Readers
Reading to children at a young age enriches their understanding of the world around them, enhances cognitive development, and helps them gain the language they need to express themselves. By reading to our children, we prepare them for future success, while building a foundation of empathy for others. Each week during Until Justice Just Is, a community leader will volunteer time reading to our childcare students. Everyone is invited to attend each reading virtually via Facebook livestream – follow us on Facebook to read along as we choose books on Kindness with a justice lens.
YWCA USA Virtual Town Hall
Racial Justice Challenge
The YWCA Racial Justice Challenge designed to create dedicated time and space to build more effective social justice habits, particularly those dealing with issues of race, power, privilege, and leadership. The Challenge works to foster personal reflection, encourage social responsibility, and motivate participants to identify and act on ways to dismantle racism and other forms of discrimination.
For four weeks, daily challenge activities (reading an article, listening to a podcast, reflecting on personal experience, etc.) are posted in the Challenge app and website, allowing participants to connect with one another, discover how racial and social injustice impact our community, and identify ways to dismantle racism and other forms of discrimination. Each week covers a different topic related to equity and social justice. Daily activities are not posted on the weekends.
