Thank you to Dr. Gort and Dr. Raj for the heartfelt welcome and acknowledgements

Yes, this is needed here in MN! So many organizations don't understand how powerful Restorative Justice and Circles can be for those who have been sexually victimized!

Incredible, BRAVO!

I did not notice the time Burma started speaking, let me know when we should wrap up and allow time for Q&A

Can we know the total number of those hurt and who caused harm — and how many were addressed successfully without prison? And if at possible for what cost? And finally what the lasting impact and challenges still unaddressed? 💜🙏

How do predatory laws affect the circle process/community justice?

Let's do this MN!

10 minute break before our panel presentation and discussion on "Individuals Who Have Experienced Sexual Violence"

it is very difficult for those living off the community and finding resources, the current term our country uses is "restorative justice", not many places that fully accept offenders released from prison

for smaller traditional communities, talking about sexual assault is not often confronted, sometimes this is because individuals wanting to protect the person who did it because they maybe part of the community and family of the victim. An because if it comes out the victims family or themselves are afraid of victim shaming. How can more traditional closed communities confront sexual assault and provide resources for both victims and offenders in a way in which they are not shamed. To prevent or reduce generations of offenders that exist, because there is no accountability.

What about civil commitment folks who cares about them? Where is the restorative justice at

🙌🏾💖👏🏾

How do we confront this issue in a way that considers the wrongfully accused offender? Is there space in restorative/transformative justice to deal with actual innocence?

We're taking some questions from the audience in the auditorium, will try to get to as many questions posted in Zoom as we can!

Very good panel discussion! Thank you.
