Healing The Trauma of Racism

Over the last six months, ACT NOW with RU has explored the ways in which racism has traumatized humanity. This exploration was performed in a deeply personal manner and what surfaced was the distinct similarities in the varied trauma response of this diverse group, regardless of the specific triggering events.  We’ve had long-overdue conversations, learned about history never taught in school, searched for ways to dismantle the system of oppression and racism that still permeates the collective consciousness, and recognized the deep trauma racism has created.  Recognizing that we all share in this trauma may be the conversation that allows for us to strip away the impact of the triggers so that healthy discourse and true problem solving can occur.

We are committed to creating opportunities for our R U community to join this journey into understanding what has happened, what divides us, and what we can do about it.…
