OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
Megan talks with Larry Jefferson, Lucy Prout, and Jamelah Zidan from Restorative Approaches to Intimate Violence (RAIV), a community-based nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing interpersonal violence through restorative practices. They discuss what brought them all to doing restorative justice work to address interpersonal violence, how restorative justice provides options for holistic, person-centered responses to harm outside of the criminal legal system, and how RJ as a social movement offers a path toward a world that embodies community, dignity, and liberation.
Connect with RAIV (including information on opportunities to join as a community member or circle keeper) through their website and their LinkedIn
