TRIAD RESTORATIVE JUSTICE

WHAT IS RESTORATIVE JUSTICE?

The strength of our relationships determines the strength of our community, and how we respond to conflict, crime, and injustice influences how well we can recover from the harm that has been caused. Restorative justice approaches to conflict focus on healing the harm by addressing the needs of everyone involved and holding people accountable to repair the harm they have caused. Relationships and strong community connection are essential to the restorative justice process.

Monthly Circles
Sunday from 3:00 - 5:00 PM

Our PB&J group leads local youth in Circle discussions around different topics impacting their lives. Past circle topics led by youth and adult circle facilitators include time management, setting goals, how to rest, confidence, creativity, and belonging.

Sign up to receive information on upcoming circles. Currently, our next meeting is on November 5th from 3-5pm.

We believe Black Lives Matter. While many restorative practices are thought of as methods for healing interpersonal harm, we 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. We reflect on how to dismantle racism within ourselves, our organization, and our community. We embed reflection within staff meetings, training, and designing programs. We know we will not be perfect at this work, and we welcome feedback if and when we perpetuate harm.

GIVING IS ACTION

Our programs are community-based initiatives. We seek community to build the foundation for these programs.
Our greatest need right now is funding for program development.
Much of the work we are doing in our community is unfunded or underfunded. We ask you consider donating to contribute to creating safer, respectful and just communities.
