About this Event
A Fork in the Public Safety Road: Retribution and Cruelty or Accountability and Repair?
Our community is under extraordinary stress. In less than two years, local efforts to introduce restorative practices such as hospital-based violence intervention programs and mixed first responder teams have been grievously undermined by Operation Charlotte’s Web, Iryna’s Law, and the Criminalization of Homelessness. We can do better. We must do better. Let’s reassert Charlotte community values.
During such difficult times, the community plays a vital role in providing strength and support to affected families. Please join REDRESS NC for a community conversation examining critical approaches to public safety, criminal justice reform, and community well-being. When we gather, we will explore accountability and repair of harm and identify how we can do better. This gathering will explore the stark contrast between retributive policies and restorative approaches centered on accountability and sustainable healing.
We invite you to join us in developing a pathway in assisting families as they navigate these profound challenges. Don't miss out on this important conversation! Schedule to be released soon.
