We're excited to announce an encore airing of our conversation with Irene Morgan, the remarkable 84-year-old founder of the Restorative CommUnity Coalition, originally broadcast on June 2nd! Since 2006, Irene has been a true pioneer and a beacon of wisdom in our community.A great-grandmother and savvy businesswoman, Irene's story is as rich as the history she's lived. In this rerun, she'll share how her family moved from California during World War II to establish a farm on the Northwest Border of the U.S. From running a slaughter-on-the-farm business, she transitioned to counseling, then delved into the non-profit world, passionately studying criminal justice, poverty, and free enterprise. Ultimately, she launched a coaching business dedicated to rebuilding our jail, prison, and public health and safety systems.Irene's foundation was built on farm business, family values, and community peacemaking. Alongside her elder siblings, she learned to champion hard work, fairness, peace, justice, honor, and freedom – all while navigating the complexities of farming, forestry, fishing, indigenous rights, and the profound issues of slavery and immigration during a tumultuous era.A vibrant and active advocate for peace and justice, Irene firmly believes that spending money on bigger prisons, punishment, and privatizing corporations is a "vast sinkhole" for community dollars. Instead, she argues, our funds are far better invested in recovery and community resilience work. Her vision is clear: to re-educate people on how to contribute to a thriving society. Her approach includes rehabilitation, reconstruction, restoring lives, reclaiming freedom, and investing in our families and local communities.They offer alternative pathways like mediation, restorative circles, and community service, helping individuals address root causes and take responsibility for their actions.The Coalition provides vital support to individuals re-entering society after incarceration, assisting with housing, employment, and access to essential services.Irene and the RCC tirelessly advocate for policy reforms that prioritize restorative justice principles and address the systemic inequities that fuel mass incarceration.Don't miss this encore episode with Irene Morgan and learn more about the incredible work of the Restorative CommUnity Coalition!The Restorative CommUnity Coalition works tirelessly to:Divert Individuals from the Traditional Justice SystemSupport Re-entry and RehabilitationAdvocate for Systemic Change

In episode 4of A Common Concern: The Climate Justice Podcast, Emma Foubister discusses the role of criminal law in the context of climate impacts on human health and life with Florence Iveson and Professor Cindy Cho.

Levy explores how this contagious psycho-spiritual disease of the soul acts like a parasite on the mind. Host Joy Gilfilen, Executive Director of the Restorative CommUnity Coalition, delves deeper, examining how the behavior of leaders in the incarceration industry may intersect with the psychosis Levy describes as "Malignant Egophrenia" (ME), or more colloquially, "Mad Emperor Disease." The discussion highlights how the perceived divisions in our world often mask the presence of wetiko. Levy argues that this mind-virus underlies many of humanity's destructive behaviors, both individual and collective. Drawing on 40 years of experience and study of quantum physics, he explains how wetiko deeply infiltrates our psyches, often undetected. This "blindness" to wetiko empowers it to thrive.In his earlier book, "Dispelling Wetiko: Breaking the Curse of Evil," Levy emphasizes the contagious nature of this emotionally charged virus. He contends that a collective psychosis of immense proportions is currently unfolding on the world stage, driven by wetiko. This ancient concept, known to Native Americans as "wetiko," subtly operates within the unconscious blind spots of the human psyche, blinding individuals to their own madness and driving them to act against their own self-interest. This podcast is a valuable resource for anyone involved in justice, healing, or recovery.

In this episode of A Common Concern: The Climate Justice Podcast, Kate Cook discusses workers' rights and climate change with Kalina Arabadjieva of the European Trade Union Institute. From the principles and standards of the International Labour Organisation to the provisions of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, from the rules of the EU Green Deal to the three pillars of the Aarhus Convention, there are many points of intersection between international labour law and climate law. Kate and Kalina discuss the potential for mutual reinforcement in relation to the protection of workers both from the direct impacts of climate change, including heat stress, and in relation to securing a just transition for the workforce in the context of decarbonization. Is closer integration between workers' rights and climate law a key way to secure climate justice in the face of colossal challenges across the world?

Purchase the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Today-Best-Day-My-Life/dp/B0DBJNP92T  Rev. Kevin Burns (KB) Growing up in a large family meant there was always something to do and always someone to play with. But sometimes I wanted to be left alone. During those times, I went to my bedroom and lay on the bed and thought about life. I thought about decisions people make, why people do what they do, and why bad things happen to good people. You know, things that a lot of people think about.   Rev. Dr. Kevin Riggs (KR) It all started with an article in my local newspaper. The article stated that over the next thirteen months Tennessee would carry out ten executions It had been more than a decade since an execution. Now, in a relatively short time, Tennessee would murder 13 percent of the total population of men and women on death row. Not long after I read the article, I heard the Spirit say, "Go to death row." At the time I did not know where death row was in Tennessee. Knowing I heard God speak, I did some research, made some phone calls, and by the end of that summer, made my first visit to Unit Two at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution, the home of Tennessee's death row. That was over ten years ago. While ten executions over thirteen months never happened, during the past five years, there have been seven executions. I've said goodbye to seven friends, all of which were image bearers of the Divine.

The Tulsa County Family Center for Juvenile Justice, or FCJJ, was raided on Friday morning July 12th. Investigators with several law enforcement agencies spent an entire day and night removing boxes and electronic equipment from the Center, located at 500 W Archer St. in Tulsa. Investigators have begun working under a warrant, issued by the Tulsa Police Department, with the goal of finding evidence related to two recent arrests of FCJJ staff and a federal lawsuit filed in May of this year.One of the most controversial issues that local candidates have been weighing on is the federal investigation surrounding allegations of physical and sexual abuse at the Tulsa County juvenile detention facility. A Focus: Black Oklahoma investigation looks into a potential conflict of interest regarding an Oklahoma City based company hired by Karen Keith's mayoral campaign with ties to the state Office of Juvenile Affairs. Keith, who has served as one of three Tulsa County Commissioners since 2008, has touted the building of the FCJJ, which opened in 2019 in downtown Tulsa, as one of her great achievements as commissioner.For more information on these allegations, check back with us during September's broadcast.

12-year-old Celina Mays went missing from her home in Willingboro, New Jersey, on December 16, 1996. Celina was reported missing, but her disappearance wasn't really treated as a potential crime by her family or local law enforcement. In fact, it took days for police to find out perhaps the most important detail – 12-year-old Celina was pregnant and due in only two weeks.   Now, it's been over 25 years, and Celina is still missing. But what they've found out about her life leading up to that day paints a dark, sinister picture of what her fate could have been.   Anyone with information about Celina Mays is asked to call The Willingboro Police at 609-877-3001 or NCMEC at 1-800-TheLost.

Suzanne Morphew was reported missing from Maysville, Colorado, on May 10, 2020, Mother's Day. Her bicycle was found at the bottom of a ravine that evening.   As friends came forward and investigators learned more about Suzanne, the investigation pointed in one direction— to Suzanne's husband Barry Morphew, who claims the two had a “perfect” marriage. Meanwhile, Suzanne was secretly documenting abuse and, by her friend's accounts, preparing to leave him and start a new life.   In a case that appeared to be open and shut, a DNA sample found in Suzanne's car put the prosecution's entire case in jeopardy, and some suspect that those involved with the prosecution were corrupt from the start.   After three long years, Suzanne's body was found on September 22, 2023, in a location that wasn't even on detectives' radar, leaving them to reinvestigate Suzanne's entire case. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation is asking anyone with information about Suzanne's disappearance to email cdpssuzannemorphewtipline@state.co.us or call the tip line at 719-312-7530.

Sometime between October 3rd and October 4th, 2011, 10-month-old Lisa Irwin went missing from her home in Kansas City, Missouri. Lisa's parents, Jeremy Irwin and Deborah Bradley reported that their daughter had gone missing from her crib at around 4 am on October 4th, 2011.   The circumstances surrounding Lisa's disappearance raised many questions and a lot of speculation. The parents claimed they discovered her missing when Jeremy Irwin returned home from work late at night. The family's home showed no signs of forced entry, but the front door was unlocked. Deborah Bradley has also admitted to consuming alcohol on the night of the disappearance, which added complexity to the investigation.   However, three witnesses reported seeing a strange man in the area that night carrying a baby who appeared to be wearing just a diaper despite the cold weather. One witness picked local handyman, John Tanko, out of a lineup. While Tanko was cleared, his connection to a mysterious phone call allegedly made from one of the stolen cell phones continued to perplex followers of Lisa's case.   Despite media coverage and public interest, the case remained unresolved, and Baby Lisa Irwin's whereabouts remain unknown.   Lisa is white, and at the time of her disappearance, she had blond hair, blue eyes, and was about 30 inches tall with two just bottom teeth, a small bug bite under her left ear, and a beauty mark on her right outer thigh. It is worth noting that she was sick with a cold at the time and was last seen wearing purple shorts and a purple shirt with white kittens on it.   There is still a $100,000 reward in this case, and if you do have any information, you can call the Kansas City Police Department at 816-234-5136 or e-mail missingperson@kcpd.org.

On Deanna Cremin's 17th birthday, in March 1995, her mother gave her what most teenagers in the 90s coveted: her very own pager. Deanna was a typical teenager; she would skip class, sneak the occasional beer or cigarette, and she enjoyed spending time with her long-term boyfriend. But she was also very responsible. She had a job at the local supermarket and just finished training to become a cashier; she also babysat for many families in her neighborhood and even hosted some children's programming on her local community access TV station.   Deanna was finishing her junior year at Somerville High School in Massachusetts, and her future looked bright. While she wasn't entirely sure what she wanted to do after, many believe she would have worked with kids.   On March 29, just a few days after her 17th birthday, she turned in an assignment outlining the top 5 most important goals for her life.   1.    Graduate high school 2.    To find a successful job that I enjoy 3.    To have a dark green convertible mustang 4.    To have a happy family 5.    To live a long time, healthy   Under this, she's asked to choose which one of these five goals is the most important, and Deanna chose number 5, to live a long and healthy life.   That night, Deanna went to her boyfriend's apartment after school like she normally did. A few hours later, she called her mom to tell her she was going to miss her 10 pm curfew so they could finish watching TV together, but she'd be home later.   By midnight, Deanna hadn't made it home. And when her mother paged her, Deanna never called her back. It wasn't until the next morning that she got the news…Deanna had been found by two of the kids she babysat; she'd been strangled to death and sexually assaulted less than half a mile from her home.   Despite big promises from authorities about getting Deanna justice, it's been almost 30 years with no answers.   Deanna Cremin was 17 years old when she was killed on or about March 29, 1995, in Somerville, Massachusetts. If you have information about Deanna's murder, you can call the tip line at 617-544-7167. You can also text tips anonymously to the Somerville Police Department at 874411.

It was late September 2023 when Chelsea Grimm, a 32-year-old woman from San Diego, California, embarked on a cross-country trip to Connecticut for a wedding. However, after a few days on the road, she only managed to reach Phoenix, Arizona. After calling her parents, Janet and Stephen Grimm, she realized that the trip was too ambitious for her to make alone. Instead of going back home, Chelsea decided to spend a few days camping in Arizona before heading back. She warned her parents that she would be in areas without cell service and not to worry if they couldn't reach her.   Several days passed, and Chelsea's parents hadn't heard from her, so they reported her missing on October 4th. The next day, Chelsea's abandoned vehicle was found on a dirt road with two flat tires. It was locked, and her belongings, including her phone, wallet, tent, sleeping bag, and her beloved pet bearded dragon, were missing.   Initially, Chelsea's parents and investigators thought that she might have gone camping, but as they dug deeper, they found out that several things had happened between the last time Chelsea spoke to her parents. For instance, Chelsea had an encounter with the local sheriff's office, and she tried to pay for a hotel room using Euros, stating that she wanted to stay off the grid.   Chelsea Grimm was last seen on September 30, 2023, northeast of Ash Fork, Arizona. She is a white female with light brown or blondish hair and blue eyes. She is 5'8”, weighs approximately 115-135lbs, and has a tattoo of a vine with leaves on it on her left forearm. Her 2019 White Ford Escape SUV has been recovered.   Anyone with information is asked to call the Coconino Sheriff's Office at 928-774-4523.For more information about the podcast and the cases discussed, visit VoicesforJusticePodcast.com Don't forget to follow me on social media under Voices for Justice Podcast & SarahETurney Join the Patreon family to get instant access to a library of extra content, support the show, and support these cases https://www.patreon.com/VoicesforJustice  The introduction music used in Voices for Justice is Thread of Clouds by Blue Dot Sessions.

On March 31, 2006, 27-year-old Brian Shaffer went out with his friend Clint for a night of barhopping in Columbus, Ohio. At around 1:55 a.m., Brian was seen talking to two women outside the Ugly Tuna Saloona. Two minutes later, he walked back towards the entrance of the bar. According to Clint and another friend named Meredith, they last saw Brian when he said he wanted to talk to the band and went back inside the bar. They say that they couldn't find him after this. Before leaving, Clint and Meredith tried calling Brian, but his phone went straight to voicemail, so they went home. Two days later, Brian was reported missing by his father. And I think what happened next is why Brian Shaffer's case is so puzzling. When police reviewed surveillance footage from the Ugly Tuna Saloona, they saw Brian leave the bar, speak to the two people, and re-enter the bar. But there was no video of Brian leaving the bar again.   To this day, police still don't know what happened to Brian that night. There are countless theories about what happened that night, but very few answers. At the time of his disappearance, Brian Shaffer was 27 years old, 6'2”, 160 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes. He was wearing an olive green short-sleeved polo shirt with a white long-sleeved shirt underneath, blue jeans, Adidas sneakers, and a yellow cancer awareness bracelet. He has a dot on the iris of his left eye and a tattoo of the Pearl Jam symbol on his upper right bicep. Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Columbus Division of Police at 614-645-2358. Thank you to the sponsor of this episode, BetterHelp.
