Really enjoyed my conversation with @amplifyrj on their This Restorative Life podcast. You can listen to it here: open.spotify.com/episode/68H… or anywhere you get your podcasts. We talked about how and why I think John Coltrane would be an excellent circle keeper #RestorativeJustice

#nacrj just finished my workshop called John Coltrane: Circle Keeper, music and restorative justice. Loved exploring the connection between music and RJ via the music of the incredible #johncoltrane.

The restorative Justice work @FremontTigers is deep and powerful and youth driven.
“If you grew up around here, you remember when Fremont had a horrible reputation. But we’ve worked so hard on building community, relationships, trust. I really feel we’ve made a difference," said the school’s #restorativejustice facilitator. #caedu

Check out this article by Jess Press from @thephilacitizen about Restorative Justice in schools and the connection to community
