Black Lives Matter
At Triad Restorative Justice, we believe Black Lives Matter. While many restorative practices are thought of as methods for healing "interpersonal" harm, we also understand harm is perpetuated at systemic and intergenerational levels. We believe the BLM movement seeks to center the humanity of brothers, sisters, and siblings who have been harmed on both interpersonal, institutional, and intergenerational levels because of racism.
As Fania Davis explains, restorative justice work must be healing work and activism work. TRJ is actively reflecting on how to dismantle racism within ourselves, our organization, and our community. We embed this conversation and action within staff meetings, trainings, and how we design programs. We know we will not be perfect at this work, and we welcome feedback if and when we perpetuate harm despite our intentions. |
COVID-19 UpdateAs vaccination rates rise, we are grateful that our community is on the path towards increased safety. We will continue to act thoughtfully and intentionally as we make decisions about future events and gatherings.
Many of our circles, meetings and trainings will continue to be held virtually. In some of our work however the limitations of virtual community create a barrier to being able to develop trusting relationships and connection. In these situations, we follow safety protocols aligned with local health department and CDC guidelines, including a mandatory mask requirement. While we won’t planning many community events, we will still be connecting with the community. The core of our organization is all about relationships. First and foremost, we want to make sure we are maintaining the relationships we have with others, especially as many people in our community may continue to experience social isolation and disconnection. If you would like to participate in a virtual circle using an online meeting program, or if you would just like a phone call from someone to talk, send an email to hello@triadrj.org. |
