Through guided activities and conversation, participants will explore how historical and present-day policies shape financial outcomes across communities. Together, we\u2019ll reflect on Dr. King\u2019s call for justice, deepen our understanding of economic inequality, and share a meal while building empathy and awareness.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #fa4616;\">About the Racial Wealth Gap Learning Simulation:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The 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.<\/p>\n<p>Please <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.office.com\/Pages\/ResponsePage.aspx?id=o-ewF-Y1H0GJYgi-lfhxFXnBJys6jzNHiPslUmPgbuNUM0JQR0FUQ1NaTDJHOVNHU1lFTzFKUVlGWi4u\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #fa4616;\">RSVP HERE<\/span><\/a> so we can plan seating and lunch!<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"color: #fa4616;\">2026 Until Justice Just Is Campaign Sponsors:<\/span><\/h1>\n<h1><span style=\"color: #fa4616;\"><em><b>Platinum Sponsor<\/b><\/em><\/span><\/h1>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.visionsfcu.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6096\" src=\"https:\/\/cortlandywca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Visions_Logo_Color_Large-300x81.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cortlandywca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Visions_Logo_Color_Large-300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cortlandywca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Visions_Logo_Color_Large-1024x277.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cortlandywca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Visions_Logo_Color_Large-1536x416.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cortlandywca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Visions_Logo_Color_Large-2048x555.jpg 2048w\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"108\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #fa4616;\"><em>Bronze Sponsor<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nCortland Veterinary Hospital<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"color: #fa4616;\">YWCA Cortland 2026 Partners:<\/span><\/h1>\n<h1><span style=\"color: #fa4616;\"><em><b>Empower Partner:<\/b><\/em><\/span><\/h1>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yaman.com\/agents\/sue-sherman-broyles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12248\" src=\"https:\/\/cortlandywca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Sue-Sherman-Broyles-at-Yaman-Real-Estate-Logo.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cortlandywca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Sue-Sherman-Broyles-at-Yaman-Real-Estate-Logo.png 5474w, https:\/\/cortlandywca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Sue-Sherman-Broyles-at-Yaman-Real-Estate-Logo-300x109.png 300w, https:\/\/cortlandywca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Sue-Sherman-Broyles-at-Yaman-Real-Estate-Logo-1024x371.png 1024w, https:\/\/cortlandywca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Sue-Sherman-Broyles-at-Yaman-Real-Estate-Logo-1536x556.png 1536w, https:\/\/cortlandywca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Sue-Sherman-Broyles-at-Yaman-Real-Estate-Logo-2048x742.png 2048w\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"181\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h1><em><span style=\"color: #fa4616;\"><b>Persimmon Partner:<\/b><\/span><\/em><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.guthrie.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6317\" src=\"https:\/\/cortlandywca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Untitled-300-%C3%97-60-px-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"325\" height=\"65\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presented by Visions Federal Credit Union YWCA is on a mission&#8230; Join Us!
