Virtual Panel Discussion – Exploring Restorative Justice in NJ: Toward a Healing Approach to Crime and Public Safety
2020-08-15 11:00 - 12:30 | https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85842095901
Virtual Panel Discussion – Exploring Restorative Justice in NJ: Toward a Healing Approach to Crime and Public Safety
Learn more about Restorative Justice in New Jersey, what´s happening now and its outlook for the future. Panelists include:
• NJ State Senator Troy Singleton, a primary sponsor of recently passed legislation to establish Restorative Justice Pilot Programs in NJ public schools.
• Retha Onitiri, Community Engagement Director at the NJ Institute for Social Justice, where they are working on a proposal to use restorative justice throughout the state
• Rev. Brenda Ehlers, from Morrow Memorial Church in Maplewood, NJ, where they work with the municipality to divert first-time youth offenders to their restorative justice program.
Restorative Justice is a process to deal with a crime, infraction, or injustice that seeks to heal or repair the harm that was done to the victim and to the community, rather than simply punishing and locking away the person who committed the harm (or suspending them, in the case of schools.) In this process the offender is held accountable to repair the harm they caused and to work on themselves to become a person that doesn´t commit that kind of harm again. Restorative justice shifts our perspective from control and punishment to growth and healing.

Montclair Prophetic Council Event
2020-08-25 18:30 - 20:00 | Zoom
Montclair Prophetic Council: Join us in abolishing abusive policing
Grounded in a shared movement toward collective liberation, we will gather for a Prophetic Council on Tuesday, August 25, 2020, from 6:30 to 8:00 PM.
The Montclair Prophetic Council pledges to:
–Educate ourselves about the force report data for our municipality, history of policing and current demands in our community.
–Commit to creating and/or supporting community responses that demilitarize our communities
–Rely on community responses in the event of a non-violent crime, rather than calling the police. These types of responses promote restorative justice
Racialized and abusive policing is a part of our history and it continues to be the standard in New Jersey – a standard that demands witness and transformation. At this prophetic council, we will listen, openly, and actively to the lived experience of our community members so that we might collaboratively face this injustice. Together, we will lament as we educate our community to the often overlooked reality that abusive policing happens right here in Montclair.
Following this council, we will continue to gather and sustain a movement of allies, collaborators, and co-conspirators with a prophetic commitment to liberation.
Registration is required: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_h_4fCQ57RvinkgKXiq9VxA
