SUMMARY:Unraveling Harm\, Cultivating Safety
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation that builds on findings from a recent research study commissioned by the Metro Detroit Restorative Justice Network and Detroit Justice Center  exploring these themes with Metro Detroiters. \nFree copies of the book containing these findings — Unraveling Harm\, Cultivating Safety: Learnings on Healing\, Justice\, and Accountability from Metro Detroiters — will be available at the event while supplies last. The book’s authors will share findings from the research and invite attendees into conversation around the many contradictions that emerge when we consider what it takes to cultivate safety and address harm in today’s world as we practice new worlds together. \nPre-event: Join us from 3-6 PM for The Critical Mix Series: an immersive listening experience in the Gallery of Revolution feat. @saylemceleste in response to Carceral Fictions & Abolitionist Realities @makingroom.online

SUMMARY:Reimagining Safety: Kick-off & Training

SUMMARY:Participatory & Holistic Defense Learning Community
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an upcoming Learning Community session exploring participatory and holistic defense\, two approaches that expand how we support people navigating the legal system. These models center families and communities as active participants in defense while also addressing the underlying needs that bring people into contact with the system in the first place. \nElisheva Johnson of Emergent Justice will share how participatory defense organizes families and communities to influence case outcomes and shift power within the court system. Additional speakers will be announced soon\, including perspectives on holistic defense\, which connects individuals with supports such as social services\, housing advocacy\, and mental health care. \nThis session is part of our Incarceration Prevention Learning Community series\, focused on strategies that reduce system involvement and build stronger\, more supportive communities.
