Restorative justice fosters connection, dignity, and real choice, leading to more satisfying outcomes and genuine healing. Every step toward this alternative path is a step toward restoring hope and autonomy for those impacted.

#NationalRestorativeJusticeWeek

We brought survivors and prosecutors together to learn how the criminal legal system can do better in supporting the needs and healing of victims of crime.

Survivors are too often spoken for. This discussion flipped the script. Survivors led the conversation. Prosecutors showed up to listen.

DA Sherry Boston reminds us that being victim-centered doesn’t always look the same. Sometimes it means stepping back from prosecution and sometimes it means moving forward even when it’s hard.

True justice meets people where they are, not where the system expects them to be.

When we center survivors, we transform justice.
True reform means humanizing everyone involved, both survivors and those who’ve caused harm. Because healing, repair, and accountability are only possible when we move beyond “us vs. them.”

Preventing police violence begins with listening to those who have lived through its devastating impact.

In 2020, Sean Monterrosa was shot and killed by police while unarmed. His sisters, Michelle & Ashley, have since turned their grief into action by calling for accountability and reform.

Survivors are asking for something different: healing, not just punishment.
Arlington County CA Parisa Dehghani-Tafti explains how her office is leading with restorative justice, even in serious cases like hate crimes and homicides.

October is #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth, but the reality of intimate partner violence extends far beyond these 31 days.

As headlines and soundbites fill the news cycle, let's stay focused on what really matters: the lived experiences of survivors in all our communities.

Justice happens with community involvement. Real change comes when those most impacted have a seat at the table.

Our recent visit to California Medical Facility reminded us why we do this work. We met men committed to change and actively engaged in rehabilitation.

Want to see it for yourself? Join a future visit with us and be part of building a justice system that believes in redemption.

Prosecutors like Norfolk Commonwealth’s Attorney Ramin Fatehi aren’t driven by ideology – they’re driven by data, evidence, and results. They know that justice must be grounded in what truly works to keep communities safe.
