This summit introduces restorative practices that focus on repairing harm to communities and individuals, while emphasizing a person first approach to criminal justice. April is designated as Second Chance Month, and BMI is dedicated to empowering our communities through direct action, advocacy, and grassroots organizing. This summit will be composed of elected officials, criminal justice stakeholders, formerly incarcerated people, restorative practitioners and survivors of crime to create new and effective approaches to criminal justice in the Peach state. Independent of any system of “justice,” Restorative is a social movement and philosophy that has deep historical roots. We understand that the application of Restorative Justice varies from one geographical location to another. Therefore, this summit seeks best practices and true application of Restorative Justice within Georgia’s criminal justice system and our overall communities.Agenda?: 08:00 AM - 09:30 AMBreakfast/Registration?: 09:30 AM - 10:00 AMOpening RemarksInfo: Welcoming remarks by BMI Executive Director John Taylor.
