	"description": "Subject: Can you come? Body: Friend, Subject: Can you come? Body: Friend, I&#x27;m attending the March 2022 UWSA Unlearning Circle (3/12/2022). March’s UWSA Unlearning Circle will explore Transformative Justice (part 2) Shifting the systems that address harm requires us to understand that our current legal system is rooted in the multi-generational and ancestral socialization of racism. As white people, we have been socialized to believe that violent legal, criminal, and carceral systems–systems rooted in punishment and blame–are necessary to maintain our safety. In a racist world, those of us who are racialized as white unconsciously associate our discomfort with the false idea that something is both profoundly wrong and dangerous. Out of our racist understanding of comfort, Black men and boys are tortured and killed as a consequence of white women’s discomfort. In ULCs, we use Resmaa Menakem’s My Grandmother’s Hands as a guide in recognizing that racism is deeply embedded in our bodies. This month we continue that work in a new way, using a practice called the Theater of the Oppressed, a practice inspired by Brazilian educator Paulo Friere’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed, first in Brazil and later in Europe, which rested upon a detailed Marxist class analysis of the relationship between the colonizer and the colonized. We hope that this practice might help us imagine new ways to respond to the feelings that come up in our body when we encounter situations that make us deeply uncomfortable. Join us for our March Unlearning Circle as we continue to learn what it means to apply transformative justice principles in our own lives. The following resources can be helpful in preparing for the discussion. Please join us even if you haven’t had a chance to review these resources.
