Join us in our first meeting at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Quad Cities May 7th at 6:30 pm!
Restorative Justice (RJ) is a theory of justice that emphasizes repairing the harm caused or revealed by criminal behavior, identifying disparities in the judicial system and supporting returning citizens back into the community.
After paying the price for their crime, many returning citizens go on to face job discrimination, loss of voting rights, and, very often, poverty.
Quad Cities Interfaith wants to break this crippling cycle. Join us for our first Restorative Justice issue session to discuss options of how to create quantitative change in our community on these issues.
