We know that our criminal justice system is not serving us well. State budgets for education have steadily decreased while funds for prisons increase. We are incarcerating minorities at an alarming rate, often for nonviolent offenses. With their zero tolerance policies, schools are calling on police to arrest children for behaviors that would have meant a visit to the principal's office in decades past.

One solution is Restorative Justice.

But what is it? How does it work? And what makes it better than what we currently do? As an advocate for social justice, what can you tell people about it? 

Advocating for peaceful and just solutions in our own communities requires us to be informed... Join us for a closer look at "RJ" and its proactive sister, Restorative Practices.
