Especially loved our convo about how RJ ensures youth make things right while also building empathy, perspective taking and shared values in community. This is essential for youth who cause harm, as it also protects against harmful impacts from punitive approaches.

Excited to share this publication and amplify the great work of the Minneapolis Juvenile Restorative Justice Collaborative! #restorativejustice

We had a powerful hearing yesterday on the bill to create the Office of Youth Restorative Practices. So many of the team who contributed to the bill showed up to testify, be available for questions, and to cheer the bill on. So energized by this incredible team. #mnleg
