What is Transformative Justice?

Featuring adrienne maree brown, Mia Mingus, Stas Schmiedt, Ann Russo, Esteban Kelly, Martina Kartman, Priya Rai, and Shira Hassan.

How do we prevent and stop violence and harm without creating more violence and harm? How do we transform a society in which harm is endemic to build a culture where violence becomes unthinkable? How can small everyday acts of accountability and relationship building lead to a broad cultural shift away from harm? In this video, practitioners define the scope and potential of transformative justice.

Join us for an online discussion on Friday, April 10 at 4pm EST. More information is available here: bcrw.barnard.edu/event/moving-at-the-speed-of-trust-disability-and-transformative-justice/
