The Abolition Conversation

What if we could envision a justice system that prioritizes healing and restoration over punishment? In this conversation, we will explore innovative models of justice that focus on community healing, victim support, and transformative practices. We'll engage with activists, restorative justice practitioners, and individuals who have experienced the impacts of punitive systems. Together, we will discuss how communities can cultivate a sense of accountability and safety that does not rely on incarceration. By examining real-life examples and alternative frameworks, we aim to inspire new ways of thinking about justice that center humanity and collective well-being.
