Partner voices speakers series: Restorative justice for oakland youth

Tuesday March 29, 2022 • 7:00 PM - 8:15 PM • ​Online

SURJ Bay Area is presenting our ongoing speakers series featuring our Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPoC) Accountability Partners. This series gives the community an opportunity to hear from our Partners, learn about what they are doing in the community and find out how we can support their work.

We invite you to join us to hear from Restorative Justice for Oakland Youth (RJOY) an organization that interrupts tragic cycles of youth violence, incarceration and wasted lives by promoting institutional shifts toward restorative approaches that actively engage families, communities, and systems to repair harm and prevent re-offending. RJOY focuses on reducing racial disparities and public costs associated with high rates of incarceration, suspension, and expulsion while promoting individual healing and community wellness.
