Restorative justice poses guiding questions for how best to respond to injustice. Join us for a series of conversations exploring those questions in response to racial injustice in our culture. Living the challenge of peace is hard work in the face of enduring racial injustice, and many are rightly seeking ways to stop it. But justice requires more than stopping injustice. It also requires repairing the damage and healing the wounds. And repairing the harm of racial injustice is going to take all of us.
Please join us for a series of conversations to explore the six guiding questions at the heart of restorative justice.
Sep. 17: Who has been harmed by the racial injustice in our culture?
Sep.24: What do they, and we, need because of that harm?
Oct. 8: Who has obligations to help address those needs?
Oct. 29: What has caused this, and what will help prevent it?
Nov. 5: Who has a stake in how we resolve this and what process(es) might be appropriate for helping to heal this?
These conversations will not answer these questions for anyone. But asking them together can help us find our way forward. Your interest in these questions matters more than prior knowledge or experience in this kind of discussion.
All are welcome. We hope you will join us for all the remaining conversations in this series, but feel free to attend fewer.
