On the criminal justice front, Rob has been involved in continuing discussions on the structure of the Restorative Justice in NJ group. Restorative Justice in NJ came out of the Criminal Justice Task Force’s “Common Read” of Until We Reckon: Violence, Mass Incarceration and a Road to Reparations by Danielle Sered. A multi-faith, multi-organizational effort led by CJTF member and UU Tricia Idrobo, the group hopes to develop a database of NJ programs and practitioners, schools, youth diversion, etc.
On Reproductive Justice, Rev. Rob was invited to attend Gov. Murphy’s press conference launch of the Reproductive Freedom Act, an attempt to codify as well as update outdated legislation to include trans rights, etc. Rob was a signatory to the NJ Interfaith Council letter endorsing reproductive health care services.
