October AMA Stream Tomorrow
🕑 Added 2019-10-27 22:49:37 +0000 UTCHi Friends!
We'll be doing the October AMA stream tomorrow, October 28 at 8pm ET. The stream will be archived and posted here as usual for those who miss it live. $15+ folks should have just received the question invite post (leave your questions on that post, not this one, or I won't see them during the stream!).
I'll post the link to the stream here shortly before it starts.
Looking forward to chatting!
Much <3

Hi Samantha-- I hear "transformative justice" and "restorative justice" mentioned a lot, but when I've tried to look it up, it was not something I could understand. There's a lot of stuff about community accountability and so on, but I'm not encountering much content about mechanics? Maybe I'm just looking at the wrong stuff. (I AM strongly against the prison system in the USA though.) Could you link me to a resource that you think an autistic person could understand about these concepts and/or give a very concrete definition or example? I realize it's difficult to be put on the spot to define something that might be broad or abstract, but even defining or exemplifying one tiny subset of the whole thing, just one thing that could count as it, would please me very much. If you're unable or disinclined, I totally understand, have a good evening :)

This is why I'm such a proponent of Transformative Justice. It provides a path for addressing harm without replicating harm.
