October Educational Online Forum: A Trauma Informed Response to Protests on 10/26
1:00 -2:30pm on Monday, October 26
With the global pandemic and racial inequities, American public life this year has been filled with political and civil unrest. Given the deeply partisan electoral politics and uncertainty about election integrity, there are concerns that leading up to and the aftermath of the November 3rd election may result in widespread protest and civil unrest. The purpose of this educational forum is to help city leaders understand community trauma, explore lessons learned from previous periods of civil unrest and begin to thoughtfully, equitably, and strategically plan to provide a trauma-informed response to protest activity. This forum is organized by All Children Thrive - California and the League of California Cities.

The panel will feature leaders from Fresno Cradle to Career, Fresno County Department of Public Health, UCSF, and the community-based organizations that make up the Immigrant and Refugee and African American coalitions. A major feature of the new system is the Promotora approach with families with young children and the hiring of 100 new grassroots outreach workers. COVID-19 presented unprecedented challenges and enormous opportunities. In this case longstanding race, power and political dynamics were overcome.
