ReCAST Minneapolis is a federally funded program intended to promote "healing from the damage done by a history of policymaking that has devastated African Americans, American Indians, and immigrants including Latinos, SE Asians, and Somalis." Here's more background from the ReCAST Community Strategic Plan:
The shooting of Jamar Clark, an unarmed African American male, by police officers is the impetus behind the creation of ReCAST Minneapolis. In our city, African Americans and American Indians are disproportionately discriminated against by the police which also echoes other indicators of wellbeing where there are greater disparities between our African American and American Indian population and the rest of the populace.If you're a terrible person, you might be thinking, "Why doesn't this program intended to heal the damage of a long history of racist policymaking do more for white people?" Fortunately for terrible people, they have a champion in City Council President Barb Johnson.
