Republican Women Eye Open Seats

YWCA Leads Second Equity And Social Justice Challenge
YWCA Utah announced it will hold its second annual 21-Day Racial Equity and Social Justice Challenge. In a news release, the organization said the online challenge will take people through three weeks of core concepts on race equity. It said the event is being held after a year that saw the nation grappling with race and racism. That includes the trial of the police officer who murdered George Floyd as well as anti-Asian violence like the mass shooting in Atlanta. The challenge starts June 21. Over 6,000 people from 540 zip codes reportedly took part last year. —
