We at CMC denounce acts of all forms of violence and racism. We denounce the persistent and dehumanizing systematic brutality against Black, Indigenous, and all communities of Color. We condemn oppression and its impact on intergenerational trauma, health, and well-being at the individual, community, and global levels.
Belonging, Equity and Anti-Racism at CMC
CMC is engaging in reflection as individuals and as an organization with support from our internal committee, BEAR (Belonging, Equity, and Anti-Racism). BEAR formed in the wake of the murder of George Floyd and the escalation of the Black Lives Matter movement, with support from the Seven Stones Embodying Anti-Racism and Healing Collective Trauma course in 2021. In BEAR, we facilitate discussion, intentional reflection, and Center-wide change for and within our staff, volunteers, group leaders, clinical faculty, and leadership. In particular, the committee operates with an understanding that those with the most structual power (e.g., white, upper class, cisgender, male) have the main role and accountability in dismantling the systems they benefit from (e.g., white body supremacy) and creating culture (e.g., collectivist anti-racist white culture) that actively fulfills this aim, particularly within cross-cultural mindfulness teaching and research. To read more, please visit the BEAR page.
If you have a concern, comment, or request for the ways CMC can improve its mission to support belonging, equity and anti-racism, please email cmcbearcommittee@challiance.org.
