 -practice-nov25-2022/\n\nThe climate and ecological emergency is a trauma 
 inflicted on all beings by white supremacy. Reflexive racism and normalize
 d systems of oppression divide people and like-missioned organizations as 
 we struggle to meet the climate and ecological emergency that threatens us
  all. Our demand\, Tell the Truth\, is not just about the climate crisis b
 ut also about ourselves as activists in a movement grounded and founded in
  reflexive whiteness. Our demand for a Just Transition starts with how we 
 show up in our organizing. In this weekly circle\, we address the conditio
 ned habits and trauma of racism. This practice is foundational to the inte
 rcultural organizing needed to address the climate crisis. \n\nWhite-body 
 supremacy culture inflicts trauma and stress on all bodies. It embeds refl
 exive racism which we embody in our daily lives. These conditions are stor
 ed in our bodies and are passed on genetically\, biochemically\, and cultu
 rally between people\, families and generations. As important as an intell
 ectual understanding of racism and the desire to be anti-racist is\, these
  alone will not address the habitual embodiment of racism. In order to be 
 in solidarity with people of the global majority\, in our personal lives a
 nd our activism\, we must learn new practices to heal from trauma and to u
 nlearn embodied\, often unconscious\, racialized behaviors.\n\nIn this wee
 kly Embodied Antiracism Practice\, we address the conditioned habits and t
 rauma of racism by holding space for ongoing cultural literacy\, political
  education\, and grief processing in our predominantly white-bodied climat
 e movement. We use movement\, guided reflections\, and small group shares 
 to examine how the trauma of racism and racialized behaviors\, thoughts\, 
 feelings and physical sensations show up in each of us. Our embodied pract
 ices build capacity and community accountability for people on the path of
  racial trauma healing and environmental justice. \n\nThis circle meets we
 ekly on Fridays\, 8:30-9:45 AM ET. This is a drop-in group. Newcomers are 
 welcome at any session. No prior experience or reading required. Anyone ma
 y come\, but the content and facilitation are tailored for white people.\n
