Racial Wealth Gap Learning Simulation

United Way of Bucks County, YWCA Bucks County, and Bucks County Opportunity Council are collaborating to bring Racial Wealth Gap Learning Simulations to our community.

The interactive workshop helps people understand racial inequality at the structural level and how it connects with other social justice issues.

Participants learn how federal policies created structural inequalities in many areas, like property ownership and education, and how these policies increase hunger and poverty in communities of color. The simulation was co-created by Bread for the World Institute and NETWORK.
