The public debate over policing has made more of us more familiar with ideas like defunding or abolishing the police, but these ideas are still often dismissed as infeasible. In this episode, host Kai Wright is joined by three experts who have seen communities sustain and improve public safety absent of law enforcement.First, we meet Dennis Flores, a Nuyorican multimedia artist, activist and educator born and raised in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. He is the co-founder of El Grito de Sunset Park, a grassroots community-based organization that advocates around issues of discriminatory policing and housing rights. Flores is also the lead organizer of the Sunset Park Puerto Rican Day Parade, which, entering its third year, has created a celebration of Puerto Rican culture safe from police harassment. Flores shares how own experience with our justice system led him to find alternatives to police presence to keep his community safe.Next, Kai is joined by Philip V. McHarris, an assistant professor in the Department of Black Studies and Frederick Douglas Institute at the University of Rochester, and author of the book, “Beyond Policing.” McHarris breaks down the history of our police system and how learning about the white supremacist origins of law enforcement can help us discover better alternatives.Then Danielle Sered, executive director of the award-winning organization Common Justice, talks about developing and advancing solutions to violence that meet the needs of those harmed and foster racial equity without relying on incarceration. Sered is the author of “Until We Reckon: Violence, Mass Incarceration, and a Road to Repair” and her organization is at the forefront of alternatives to prison. She shares her takeaways from working on the frontlines — both with victims and perpetrators.Companion Listening: “People Feel Unsafe–and It's More Than Crime” (March 14, 2022)The social fabric is torn.

Here's a preview of another podcast, Some of My Best Friends Are, from Pushkin Industries. Harvard professor Khalil Gibran Muhammad and journalist Ben Austen are friends, one Black and one white, who grew up together on the South Side of Chicago. As adults, Khalil and Ben are still best friends, but they know that interracial friendships aren't going to solve the problems of a deeply divided country. On Some of My Best Friends Are, Khalil and Ben have real talks about the absurdities and intricacies of race in America. They invite guests --like actor Chris Rivas, restorative justice leader Danielle Sered, and TikTok historian Sherman "Dilla" Thomas -- to join critical conversations that are at once personal, political and playful. In this preview, Khalil and Ben talk with author Saladin Ambar about his new book, Stars and Shadows: The Politics of Interracial Friendship from Jefferson to Obama. Through famous bonds ranging from Ella Fitzgerald and Marilyn Monroe, to Barack Obama and Joe Biden, they explore the dynamics, benefits, and difficulties of cultivating interracial friendships.

When offenders cause people harm, the criminal legal system is quick to cause more harm. The incarceration system is unforgiving and cruel, but as we learn this week, there's a more humane approach to getting justice that also puts survivors first. V invites restorative justice experts Cymone Fuller and Danielle Sered on to talk about their work in this field. We'll hear about how the length of a person's incarceration has no direct benefit to the healing of the person they hurt and why restorative justice programs work to resolve conflict and reduce harm. Plus, how you can make a difference on a small level by implementing these practices in your own communities. Keep up with Cymone and Danielle's restorative justice work on Twitter at @impactjustice and @common_justice.  Keep up with V on TikTok at @underthedesknews and on Twitter at @VitusSpehar.

Throughout her career, Seema Gajwani has been working to improve criminal and juvenile justice systems across the country, running the Criminal Justice Program at the https://www.publicwelfare.org/ (Public Welfare Foundation) in Washington, D.C. before entering her current role at the https://oag.dc.gov/ (D.C. Office of the Attorney General).  On this week's episode of TraumaTies, hosts Bridgette Stumpf, Executive Director at https://www.nvrdc.org/ (NVRDC), and Lindsey Silverberg, Head of Services at https://www.nvrdc.org/ (NVRDC), talk about restorative justice with Seema, who serves as Special Counsel for Juvenile Justice Reform and Chief of the Restorative Justice Program Section at the Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia D.C.   This episode digs deep into the practices and principles of restorative justice, the flaws of the current justice system, and how restorative justice is leading to positive, lasting change.    Featured GuestName: https://onestandardofjustice.org/seema-gajwani/ (Seema Gajwani) What she does: Seema is Special Counsel for Juvenile Justice Reform and Chief of the Restorative Justice Program Section at the Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia D.C. She oversees juvenile justice reform initiatives, focusing on diversion, restorative justice, and improved data collection and analysis. Prior to this, Seema ran the Criminal Justice Program at the Public Welfare Foundation in D.C., funding efforts to improve criminal and juvenile justice systems across the country.  Company: https://oag.dc.gov/ (D.C. Office of the Attorney General) Episode Highlights[4:00] The roots of restorative justice: Restorative justice has a deep and ancient heritage, with principles originating from native indigenous cultures in the Americas, Western Africa, and New Zealand. [15:19] Restorative justice for all ages: Studies have shown that restorative justice is not just beneficial for younger demographics, but also for adults. [20:25] Guilt vs. shame: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psN1DORYYV0 (Brené Brown's research) explains that shame aligns with the thought “I am a bad person.” But guilt is productive because it aligns with the thought “I did a bad thing. I'm not a bad person.” However, the core of the justice system is often rooted in shame, criminalization, and isolation — which can lead to more violence.  [24:34] Balancing accountability and empathy: Danielle Sered's book, https://www.amazon.com/Until-We-Reckon-Violence-Incarceration/dp/1620974797 (Until We Reckon), explains that true accountability is actually taking responsibility for your behavior — which doesn't often happen in our justice system.  [32:14] The juvenile justice system: According to Seema, we've lost sight of what we're trying to accomplish through the system — to help kids learn from their mistakes.  [34:07] Restorative justice is a step toward real transformation: Seema shares a story about how communication between those in a conflict eventually led to a successful restorative justice conference.    Connect with the Network for Victim Recovery of DC☑️ Follow us on https://twitter.com/NVRDC (Twitter), https://www.facebook.com/NetworkforVictimRecoveryDC/ (Facebook), http://www.instagram.com/nvrdc (Instagram) & https://www.linkedin.com/company/nvrdc/ (LinkedIn). ☑️ Subscribe to TraumaTies on https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/traumaties/id1612126516 (Apple Podcasts), https://open.spotify.com/show/5PbJbBq6IIiDvA2DLPy79R?si=48ea896c4d324fde (Spotify), or https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly90cmF1bWF0aWVzLmNhcHRpdmF0ZS5mbS9yc3NmZWVk (Google Podcasts).

Danielle Sered knows what it looks like for a person to be accountable for the harm they caused. She's spent more than a decade facilitating restorative justice solutions to violent crimes through her organization, Common Justice (plus she identifies as a crime survivor herself). In this episode, Danielle explains why accountability is so important to a restorative justice approach, where it is often missing from our criminal legal processes, and how it is rooted in human dignity. Her insights invite people of faith to discern where accountability can play a deeper role in our own lives — in our relationships with God and neighbor alike.

Danielle Sered is the author of Until We Reckon: Violence, Mass Incarceration, and a Road to Repair. The book is based on her work as the founder and Director of Common Justice, an alternative-to-incarceration and victim-service program that focuses on violent felonies. We discuss violence, restorative justice, and the abject failure of the criminal legal system to do justice or create safety.

Danielle Sered envisioned, launched, and directs the nonprofit organization Common Justice. She leads the project's efforts locally and nationally to develop and advance practical and groundbreaking solutions to violence that advance racial equity, meet the needs of those harmed, and do not rely on incarceration.  Before planning the launch of Common Justice, Sered served as the deputy director of the Vera Institute of Justice's Adolescent Reentry Initiative, a program for young men returning from incarceration on Rikers Island. Prior to joining Vera, she worked at the Center for Court Innovation's Harlem Community Justice Center, where she led its programs for court-involved and recently incarcerated youth.Her book, Until We Reckon, received the Award for Journalism from the National Association for Community and Restorative Justice and was selected by the National Book Foundation for its Literature for Justice recognition. An Ashoka fellow and Stoneleigh fellow, Sered received her BA from Emory University and her masters degrees from New York University and Oxford University (UK), where she studied as a Rhodes Scholar.As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, The Aspen Institute is nonpartisan and does not endorse, support, or oppose political candidates or parties.

In this powerful, must-listen episode, DA Boudin and Rachel are joined by Danielle Sered, the Executive Director of Uncommon Justice, to talk about the process known as restorative justice. While breaking down some of the myths and facts about restorative justice, this episode explores the ways the criminal legal system can better center crime victims and survivors. Danielle explains how restorative justice brings healing along with accountability--and leads to victims reporting greater satisfaction than the traditional legal process.  The group also discusses how restorative justice plays a critical role in preventing recidivism and future crime. Danielle shares examples from her work with victims of violent crime and makes the case for restorative justice approaches to harms--whether or not the legal system is involved.   For further readings: Link to Danielle's book, Until We Reckon: Violence, Mass Incarceration, and a Road to Repair New York Times op-ed by Michelle Alexander, discussing Danielle's book USA Today op-ed by Danielle, "To End Mass Incarceration, U.S. Needs Alternatives to Prison for Violent Crimes" Danielle's Letter in the Washington Post about how prison isn't preferred by violent crime survivors Common Justice website Link to webinar featuring Danielle on Healing Without Incarceration Article written by Chesa Boudin (before his election) in the Appeal, San Francisco Deserves Restorative Justice San Francisco District Attorney's Office's website discussion of restorative justice

Our Dream series continues with Danielle Sered, Executive Director of Common Justice. In this episode, she unpacks the drivers of violence and how divesting from law enforcement and incarceration has actually made communities safer. By investing in restorative healing, alternatives to incarceration and transformative justice, Common Justice's radical approach to advance healing and accountability without incarceration centers survivors of crime and builds an entirely new way of addressing and preventing future harm in the community. Common Justice also has a podcast. Listen to it here.

Although over half the people incarcerated in America today have committed violent offenses, the focus of reformers has been almost entirely on nonviolent and drug offenses. Danielle Sered takes aim at issues of mass incarceration, insisting that we cannot just critique violence and mass incarceration, but must build practical, moral solutions to displace them. She joined us, drawing from her book Until We Reckon to grapple with the question of restorative approaches to violent crime in conversation with local grassroots community organizer and Creative Justice Executive Director Nikkita Oliver. Sered and Oliver explored whether the needs of survivors of violent crime are better met by asking people who commit violence to accept responsibility for their actions and making amends in ways that are meaningful to those they have hurt—none of which currently happens in the context of a criminal trial or a prison sentence. Sered argued that a reckoning is owed not only on the part of those who have committed violence, but also by our nation's overreliance on incarceration to produce the illusion of safety—at great cost to communities, survivors, racial equity, and the very fabric of our democracy. Together they illuminated how ending mass incarceration and increasing public safety is not just a local issue but is also very relevant to the Seattle-King County region. Join them as they ask us to fundamentally reconsider our relationship to and the purposes of incarceration. Danielle Sered envisioned and directs Common Justice, which develops and advances practical and groundbreaking solutions to violence that advance racial equity, meet the needs of those harmed, and do not rely on incarceration. Before planning the launch of Common Justice, Sered served as the deputy director of the Vera Institute of Justice's Adolescent Reentry Initiative, a program for young men returning from incarceration on Rikers Island. She the author of The Other Side of Harm: Addressing Disparities in our Responses to Violence, of Accounting for Violence: How to Increase Safety and Break Our Failed Reliance on Mass Incarceration, and the book Until We Reckon: Violence, Mass Incarceration, and a Road to Repair. Nikkita Oliver (they/them) is a Seattle-based creative, community organizer, abolitionist, educator, and attorney. They are the executive director of Creative Justice, an arts-based alternative to incarceration and a healing engaged youth-led community-based program. Oliver organizes with No New Youth Jail, Decriminalize Seattle, Covid-19 Mutual Aid Seattle, and the Seattle People's Party. They have been featured on the Breakfast Club, KUOW's The Week in Review, and The Late Night Show with Stephen Colbert, and their work has been seen on the South Seattle Emerald, Crosscut, the Establishment, and more.

Join us for a discussion on uprooting violence with Danielle Sered, Sonya Shah, Jose Saldana and Anthonine Pierre, remarks from Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor and a performance from Aja Monet. Beyond the Bars - Towards Freedom: Violence, Safety and Abolition in 2021 This year marks the 11th annual Beyond the Bars Conference, coming one year after the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in which multiple crises have unfolded, and the growth of social movements struggling for a more just and safe world have increased significantly. Given this, we hope to create deep and thoughtful conversations about the many forms of violence that our society has experienced; to surface and examine the ways in which movements are pushing for community and public safety in ways that do not reenforce the carceral state; and to explore why abolition has become so prevalent in the conversations, strategies and demands in the work of transforming approaches to justice and safety. In addition, we will take time to honor and celebrate the leadership of women impacted by incarceration, and the leadership of Black women, and all that we have and can learn from their work. And we will spend time building and amplifying the work of grassroots organizing.

This week I'm joined by Amna Akbar, professor of law at the Ohio State University Moritz College of Law, to talk about the past and future of critical legal education. I also speak with law students Joey Oteng (@drjotengii and host of the How We Feel Podcast) and Morgan Mackay (@usermorgan324) who share their thoughts on learning about prison and police abolition and being radicalized by the law school experience. In this week's Deeper than Doctrine segment, I share some thoughts from Danielle Sered on the violence of the carceral system and explore how law schools could incorporate more critical ideas about the legal system into students' required coursework and experiential learning.

Bear is a life coach, artist, and social justice educator who helps socially conscious humans align their actions with their values. In their coaching and teaching, they apply a feminist, anti-racist, anti-capitalist lens. In this episode, I ask them about their gender journey to using they/them pronouns, and we talk about interlocking systems of oppression, call out culture, and wanting healing for people who cause harm without necessarily wanting to be a part of that healing.  Content Warning: We do touch on sexual violence, capital punishment, and more, but we also take stretch breaks and pauses for breath as we do so.

Mass incarceration in the U.S. is an indisputable fact, but most reforms focus on nonviolent offenses. As uncomfortable as it may be, we can't dismantle mass incarceration without changing the way we think about, talk about, and respond to violence. At Liberty spoke with Danielle Sered, who is doing just that with her organization Common Justice, and her book, Until We Reckon: Violence, Mass Incarceration, and a Road to Repair.

To those tasked with radically reimagining the U.S. legal system and moving it away from the current carceral, hyper-punitive model, the logical question arises: What do you replace it with? It's a fair question and one activists and thinkers have been struggling with for decades. One such person, our guest Danielle Sered of Common Justice, has been implementing alternative justice systems in New York City for years. Today she joins us to talk about what another world looks like––and how justice and safety are possible without throwing people in cages.

Last week on the show, we examined the power of the prosecutor in our justice system, and how voters are electing a new wave of so-called “progressive prosecutors” to try to turn the tide on mass incarceration. If you haven't heard it yet, be sure to check it out. It was part one of a three-part series we're calling “Repairing Justice”; this is part two. We've talked about how the law-and-order approach doesn't work, and that we don't want to keep locking people in jail for every infraction. But that raises the question: what, then, do we do to address injustice when it appears? Rather than the isolation and violence that prison breeds, some advocates are pushing for a new approach… one based not on punishment, but on truth and reconciliation. It's called "restorative justice," and in this podcast extra, Bob speaks with Danielle Sered, executive director of Common Justice and a pioneer of the practice.  This is Part 2 of our “Repairing Justice” series.  On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

On this episode, we talk about an alternative to the traditional criminal adversarial process: restorative justice. Restorative justice focuses on repairing the harm caused by wrongdoing, and values reconciliation, community-involvement, and accountability over punishment and retribution. We discuss the benefits, limitations, and potential of restorative justice. We also talk to Sonya Shah, an associate professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies and a renowned restorative justice facilitator, trainer, and expert. Sonya is a survivor of child sexual abuse, and has worked extensively with survivors of sexual abuse and people who have committed sexual harm. In 2016 she founded The Ahimsa Collective, which offers non-punitive approaches to addressing and healing harm through the lenses of restorative and transformative justice. This episode also features audio from Danielle Sered, Executive Director of Common Justice.   For links to resources visit theappeal.org
