Reflexive racism and normalized systems of oppression divide people and like-missioned organizations as we struggle t o meet the climate and ecological emergency that threatens us all. Our dem and\, Tell the Truth\, is not just about the climate crisis but also about ourselves as activists in a movement grounded and founded in reflexive wh iteness. Our demand for a Just Transition starts with how we show up in ou r organizing. In this weekly circle\, we address the conditioned habits an d trauma of racism. This practice is foundational to the intercultural org anizing needed to address the climate crisis. \n\nWhite-body supremacy cul ture inflicts trauma and stress on all bodies. It embeds reflexive racism which we embody in our daily lives. These conditions are stored in our bod ies and are passed on genetically\, biochemically\, and culturally between people\, families and generations. As important as an intellectual unders tanding of racism and the desire to be anti-racist is\, these alone will n ot address the habitual embodiment of racism. In order to be in solidarity with people of the global majority\, in our personal lives and our activi sm\, we must learn new practices to heal from trauma and to unlearn embodi ed\, often unconscious\, racialized behaviors.\n\nIn this weekly Embodied Antiracism Practice\, we address the conditioned habits and trauma of raci sm by holding space for ongoing cultural literacy\, political education\, and grief processing in our predominantly white-bodied climate movement. W e use movement\, guided reflections\, and small group shares to examine ho w the trauma of racism and racialized behaviors\, thoughts\, feelings and physical sensations show up in each of us. Our embodied practices build ca pacity and community accountability for people on the path of racial traum a healing and environmental justice. \n\nThis circle meets weekly on Frida ys\, 8:30-9:45 AM ET. This is a drop-in group. Newcomers are welcome at an y session. No prior experience or reading required.
