Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a champion for radical healing and an incredible leader in the movement towards a future where justice can heal. And that legacy, often taught to young people, leaves out his more radical approaches to this work, and we want to highlight that today!
Don’t listen to us; instead, we ask you to listen to Dr. King himself and hear his thoughts on the matter.

The principles of Guaranteed Income aren’t new; in fact, we see how the systems are set up to benefit certain groups of people and not others financially. The goal of GI is to create a more equitable society, one that supports those who need it.
There is so much to learn about GI, so we encourage you to check out this virtual panel from 2021 to hear from the experts (this video is unlisted , so that you will need this exact link): www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0sPbzQ8uk4

After this #GivingTuesday, we invite you to continue supporting transformative Restorative Justice programs in the Bay Area.
Learn about our Restorative Justice Diversion (RJD) program, which offers a unique approach to healing that focuses on accountability and restoring relationships.
By supporting our initiatives, you are not only helping youth who have caused harm but also empowering survivors and fostering community healing. Together, we can break the cycle of harm and create a more compassionate society.

Investing in human potential through our Restorative Justice Diversion program is a transformative approach.
It not only costs 99% less than juvenile incarceration but also fosters real accountability and personal growth. Witness the incredible journeys of individuals like M.S. and J.J., who turned their lives around with support and guidance.
Your contributions create a social return on investment, transforming liabilities into valuable community assets.
