Restorative justice isn't just a concept; it's a beacon of hope, a catalyst for healing, and a testament to the power of empathy. Each step toward restoration is a step toward a more compassionate and equitable world. Let's champion this transformative approach, embracing healing over harm and understanding over judgment. Together, we can rebuild, reconcile, and rewrite the narrative of justice. #RestorativeJustice #HealingOverHarm #TransformativePath

Our theme this month is the act of transformation – like when a seed transforms into a flower. A seed is nourished and nurtured with tender care – this means it will eventually transform into a flower. Survivors use their lived experiences to change the future – this means your story transforms into your strength. Systems are well overdue for an overhaul – this means voices need to be heard to transform arenas like the justice system into something actually beneficial for survivors and abusers alike. This month, we’ll explore the act of transformation: what’s needed for it, how we can support others through it, and everything in between!

📖I’ve been delving into the profound insights of adrienne maree brown’s “Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds”. This book is a beacon for those seeking to understand and implement transformative justice. Too often, transformative justice is used to describe tinkering to make harmful systems a little less harmful in a way that reinforces those systems. Transformative justice is not about superficial changes or a throwaway line; it’s about undoing and shifting power dynamics at their core. Here are some key takeaways from the book that resonated with me about transformative justice : "Transformative justice, in the context of emergent strategy, asks us to consider how to transform toxic energy, hurt, legitimate pain, and conflict into solutions. To get under the wrong, find a way to coexist, be energy moving towards life, together." . "Transformative Justice: 1- Acknowledges the reality of state harm. 2- Looks for alternative ways to address/interrupt harm, which do not rely on the state. 3- Relies on organic, creative strategies that are community created and sustained. 4- Transforms the root causes of violence, not only the individual experience." “One core practice of resilience is transformative justice, transforming the conditions that make injustice possible. Resilience is perhaps our most beautiful, miraculous trait” “Transformative Justice Safety, Healing, and Agency For All 1- Safety, Healing, and Individual Agency for Survivors. 2- Accountability and a transformation for people who harm. 3- Community action, healing, and/or group/org accountability. 4- Transformation of the social conditions that perpetuate violence” If you’re interested in transformative justice, I highly recommend this book. It’s a deep dive into how we can create a more just and equitable world. 🌍 #TransformativeJustice #EmergentStrategy #adriennemareebrown"
