Join Spring Up’s Leander and Stas Phoenix for an interactive workshop on how you can address transformative justice and harm in community.
About the event
Transformative Justice (TJ) is both a philosophy of care and collective liberation, as well as a collection of practices exploring how we respond to violence and harm within ourselves and our communities. But what does that all mean, really? And how can we begin to implement and embody the ideas and practices of Transformative Justice in our everyday lives? Words and phrases like “community care,” “generative conflict,” and “accountability” all sound great, but what do they really look like in our lives and communities?
These are the questions we will tackle with you in our interactive Transformative Justice and Harm in Community workshop. During these 90 minutes we will dive into concepts like accountability and how we can practice on a small scale daily, how to plan for safety and care, and informed consent. We will draw on case studies and real world experiences supporting communities through conflict, restorative processes, and designing systems to enable transparency and accountability. There will also be space to share situations you are struggling to resolve and get feedback from the presenters and other participants.
During this workshop, you’ll learn:
- the philosophy and roots of Transformative Justice
- small ways to identify and intervene in the root causes of conflict
- how to embrace tensions and conflict as a strength
- how being conflict-forward can lead to better racial and gender equity
