Intergenerational Pathways for Undoing White Body Supremacy - Monthly Practice Group with Rachel Martin
This monthly practice group will build on the ReCAST Capacity Building Institute training series: Antidotes to White Body Supremacy offered in August 2018. The group will provide City of Minneapolis employees and community members who attended the training with additional support in building personal and communal capacities for humility, resilience, reparative actions and healing. The group will also be open to others from the City and community who have a commitment to joining us in this work. We will continue to develop shared language around “racialized” stress responses in our white bodies and practice noticing - and mobilizing/settling out of - common personal and communal stress responses (cry for help, fight, flight, high freeze, collapse/submit and low freeze) during “racialized” interactions with fellow white people as well as people of color and indigenous people. We will focus on tracking our body sensations so we can replace even subtle habits that uphold white body supremacy with habits that undo it.

Changes to Conduct on Licensed Premises Community Engagement Session
Council member Cunningham’s office along with an inter departmental staff team, the council
offices of Gordon and Ellison, and external stakeholders have been working on
the Conduct on Licensed Premises Ordinance since March of 2018. This work was
not to eliminate this ordinance but rather enhance it and provide clarity to
the language, consistency to the work, and resources to both landlords and
tenants. This work was done through an equity lens and will provide better
outcomes moving forward.

About ReCAST Minneapolis
The Resilience in Communities After Stress & Trauma (ReCAST) Minneapolis Program is funded through a multi-year grant from the Department of Health and Human Services' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). ReCAST Minneapolis is intended to assist high-risk youth and families, and promote resilience and equity in communities that have recently faced civil unrest through the implementation of evidence-based violence prevention and community youth engagement programs, as well as linkages to trauma-informed behavioral health services. SAMHSA created the ReCAST Program to support communities that have lived through demonstrations of mass protest in response to police-involved shootings of unarmed African-American males.
