EJUSA staff were at the White House last week with health and violence experts, discussing the national movement to frame and address violence as a public health issue.
Executive Director Shari Silberstein, Director of the Trauma Advocacy Initiative Fatimah Loren Muhammad, and Director of Campaigns and Strategy Laura Porter (pictured with Roy Austin, Deputy Assistant to the President for the Office of Urban Affairs, Justice and Opportunity in the White House) shared EJUSA’s vision of a trauma-responsive justice system.
“It was an honor to be at the White House,” said Shari. “These are important discussions about breaking the cycle of violence and building systems that heal, instead of harm.”
