Restorative Justice, or "RJ," is a philosophy and set of practices that engage the community in building relationships and repairing harm through inclusive dialogue, deep understanding, and shared power. 

This session will be held as a space for attendees to openly share how the upcoming election is impacting how they show up in relational spaces. This space will NOT be an exchange for political ideology, rather a safe place for expression and how the partisan divide is affecting us respectively. The space will also allow for reflection on how we can utilize restorative processes as a means to move towards personal and interpersonal healing using safe and effective communication.

The DC Peace Team lives this mission by deploying unarmed civilian protection and accompaniment units, providing training in various nonviolent skills, and facilitating dialogues and restorative justice approaches.
