CYS was honored to take part in this past weekend's RJLE (Racial Justice Learning Exchange) at SEED LA school. Shout out @hollyjmitchell and her team for putting on such an awesome event. This event was open to the LA County District 2 community and focused on spreading awareness of restorative justice. Community members were able to hear from individuals who have participated in restorative justice practices and also participated in their own healing-circle break out groups. We look forward to more event just like these because this one was a major success! Interested in learning more about how to host your own circle?
