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.
