Description:
The shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO and the recent grand jury decision to not indict police officer, Darren Wilson, became a lightning rod for a surging unrest and tension in communities across the country. Responses ranging from peaceful protests to riots are actually reflections of the grief, anger and continuing trauma of those who are outraged by the experiences of racism and discrimination. This is an important time for our movement to consider how we respond. What do we have to offer? Is the trauma-informed lens we use to understand our personal experiences enough to engage such tragedies in our communities? What do trauma-informed communities look like and how might we get started? Join us for a courageous conversation between national peer leaders and offer your questions and perspectives as we discover a way forward together.
