I am honored to be participating in this year’s Christian Community Development Association (CCDA) “Locked In Solidarity” event, a national advocacy and action week for mass incarceration. Next Thursday, February 8 at 1:00pm CST, I will present a webinar – “Trauma-Informed Responses to Violence” – with EJUSA Executive Director Shari Silberstein and our Trauma Network manager, Lionel LaTouche.
Our nation’s responses to violence, including mass incarceration and over-policing, have inflicted harm on communities of color throughout the country.
I’m excited to share lessons from EJUSA’s Police/Community Trauma Program, which brings together police officers and community members for dialogue and learning about trauma, racism, and the justice system.
Stream the webinar here on Thursday, 2/8I hope you can join us next week!
The EJUSA Evangelical Network promotes a justice system centered on redemption and healing.
Equal Justice USA is a national organization working to transform the justice system by promoting responses to violence that break cycles of trauma. We have worked with Evangelical leaders across the nation since 2011, leading the way in engaging Evangelicals to speak out against the death penalty. Our EJUSA Evangelical Network unites Evangelicals under a bold vision of justice transformation, so that violence is rare and every community is safe and healthy.
