What do we mean when we talk about transformative justice and accountability? What does a survivor-centered response look like in practice? How can we support those who have caused harm without defaulting to punishment? What does real accountability look like? What has worked, and what obstacles have organizers and community members faced in building this difficult and necessary practice? On October 25, 2019, Mariame Kaba will was joined by Nastassja “Stas” Schmiedt and A. Lea Roth, anti-violence and transformative justice organizers, for an online discussion of these critical questions and more.
This conversation is part of the Building Accountable Communities series developed in collaboration with Project NIA and BCRW Researcher in Residence Mariame Kaba. Four short videos from the series available here on the event page were the starting point for the conversation.
