Fania Davis - Restorative Justice’s Promise | Bioneers

Drawing on her lifetime of social justice activism, Fania Davis depicts the essence of Restorative Justice, an emerging approach that seeks to move us from an ethic of separation, domination and extreme individualism to one of collaboration, partnership and interrelatedness. Rooted in Indigenous views of justice and healing, this rapidly expanding global movement invites us to make a radical shift from either-or, right-wrong, and us-versus-them ways of thinking. It seeks to midwife an evolutionary shift beyond domination, discord and devastation toward healing, wholeness and holiness with one
another and all creation. Introduction by Cameron Simmons and Leanna Hudson of Restorative Justice for Oakland Youth.

This speech was given at the 2015 Bioneers Annual Conference.
