The 9th National Conference on Community and Restorative Justice, hosted by @nacrjusa, in Washington D.C. brought together thousands of restorative practitioners across the country.
We are still reminiscing on the incredible, and restorative week our staff members shared at the conference.
A few standout moments:
✅ The wonderful opening plenaries that set the tone for the week!
✅ PW’s presentation about creating healing spaces for young people who have a loved one currently/formerly incarcerated
✅ Leaning into the power of storytelling through art, seen through the incredible canvas art
✅ Our very own Co-Ed, Kyle Magallanes Castillo, sharing insights on RJ policy in California
✅ Seeing old, and new friends!
