Kingfield Block Contacts are invited gather and share ideas and strategies around KFNA’s 100 Days of Community Campaign! Check out the Calendar of activities!

As we come to 1 year of the Covid-19 pandemic and the beginning of the trial of Derek Chauvin for the murder or George Floyd, Kingfield neighbors are putting together 100 Days of Community – a way to get neighbors connected, have conversations about safety, and come together as a neighborhood for antiracist learning and action for safety beyond policing. The purpose of this gathering is to engage with and collect feedback from Kingfield neighborhood Block Contacts about what strategies are working to promote local community and public safety initiatives in our neighborhood. We are also still collecting community strategies and leadership from volunteers for strategies focused on:

1. Fight the Fear work and organizing
2. Crowdsourcing to support city-wide violence prevention initiatives
3. Community-building event(s) and practices

As we come to 1 year of the Covid-19 pandemic and the beginning of the trial of Derek Chauvin for the murder or George Floyd, Kingfield neighbors are putting together 100 Days of Community – a way to get neighbors connected, have conversations about safety, and come together as a neighborhood for antiracist learning and action for safety beyond policing.

This 1.5-hour workshop begins with a comprehensive overview of the neuroscience of fear and safety based on the Vagus Nerve. Through a series of interactive, reflective activities, we will learn how to name fear responses and apply specific coping skills that decrease harm and increase intention and compassion in responding appropriately.

Facilitated by Abbie Shain MSW LGSW (she/her). Abbie is a community organizer and a clinical social worker. As a person engaged in social justice work and a specialist in complex trauma, she is attentive to how power is present in the therapy room. Outside of clinical practice, Abbie consults locally and nationally around integrating trauma-informed reflective practice into social justice work and organizational life. She is a member of the boards of Jewish Community Action and Shir Tikvah Congregation. Abbie attended Macalester College and the University of Minnesota School of Social Work.
