sasha_feather: Leela from the 5th element (multipass)
[personal profile] sasha_feather
My take-aways from the lecture by Mariame Kaba:

--Restorative or transformative justice is not necessarily about love, forgiveness, or compassion. It's about examining and stepping out of the punishment mind-set. You can be mad at someone until you die, and still not want them to be harmed or locked up.

--Doing this kind of work requires that you have a community, a support system of people you can rely on.

--Dialog is not always a good idea. You can't have an open dialog when there is a big power differential. (This is especially relevant when well-meaning white people think that having tea and talking more will solve everything.)

--Know who your DA is. They have a lot of power.

--Practice hope as a discipline.

--Experiencing bad things does not make us wise. It is the examination and analysis of these experiences that brings wisdom.

All these points are excellent. I wish I could do needlepoint, and wasn't allergic to tatoos.

You could design something for needlework and have other people implement it. I like needlepoint.
