Together, we’ll reflect on Dr. King’s call for justice, deepen our understanding of economic inequality, and share a meal while building empathy and awareness.\nAbout the Racial Wealth Gap Learning Simulation:\nThe simulation is an interactive tool that shows how racial inequity is deeply connected to hunger, poverty, and wealth in the United States. It helps individuals, from beginners to experts, understand how historical and ongoing federal policies have created structural inequalities, particularly in areas like property ownership and education. These inequalities have led to hunger and poverty in communities of color. By illustrating the real economic impacts of these policies, the simulation highlights why racial equity is essential to ending hunger and poverty and encourages participants to support policies that reduce racial disparities.\nPlease RSVP HERE so we can plan seating and lunch!\n2026 Until Justice Just Is Campaign Sponsors:\nPlatinum Sponsor\n\nBronze Sponsor\nCortland Veterinary Hospital\nYWCA Cortland 2026 Partners:\nEmpower Partner:\n\nPersimmon Partner:\n \n\n
