Description

Hosted by Restorative Justice Partnership

Join Restorative Justice Partnership for The People's Conference III - a three-day journey of healing, liberation, and joy, where emerging voices and seasoned practitioners come together to reimagine justice in our schools and communities. Rooted in the philosophy of restorative justice, we're creating a space where students share the stage with educators, families lead alongside organizers, and your lived experience holds as much weight as any credential. We're building a movement on a simple truth: those most impacted by systemic inequities must lead the way forward. Past gatherings have sparked lasting partnerships, influenced policy changes, and launched new leaders - because when you center the voices of those who navigate these systems daily, transformation becomes inevitable. This is a conference that truly feels for the people, where authentic, community-led solutions create real impact. Please register here.
