Restorative Processes and Election Politics II
Community and restorative justice continues to grow and expand across the U.S. and world. With that growth comes increased opportunities for trainings, conferences, and events to deepen one’s relationship with these practices. In our commitment to continual learning, practice, and facilitating connections, we offer this calendar as a go to place to share and find community and restorative justice events.

This session is provided by the DC Peace Team, which empowers ordinary civilians to increasingly serve their communities particularly as nonviolent peacekeepers, and by extension as peacemakers and peacebuilders. 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.

She believes that restorative practice can help families with these conflicts. She earned an MS in Conflict Analysis and Resolution from George Mason University. She has worked as a substitute teacher in local public schools and trained middle and high school students at Peace Summits for Fairfax County Public Schools.
Gail Stallings (she/her) is a retired special education teacher and resource specialist. She currently clerks the Gainesville Quakers Social Justice Outreach Committee, and facilitates Cultural Orientation Sessions for the Greater Gainesville International Center Refugee Resettlement Agency. Her longstanding commitment to human rights, peace building, and nonviolent communication, have included facilitating workshops, threshing sessions, worship sharing, and healing circles in addition to having conversations across political differences with the United Vision Project, and working with election protection. Gail has been a dedicated member of the Restorative Justice family of the DC Peace Team since 2020, and has begun co-facilitating this past year.
