Transformative Justice (TJ) is a political framework that seeks to respond to conflict, harm and violence in generative ways. This is a 12-month experimental project, inviting 4-6 groups - collectives, teams, friends, housemates, anyone trying to move in line with abolitionist values - into practice as part of a community-based skill-up.

We will meet monthly (in person and online) to explicitly build long-term, collective practice in places where people are already organising. We know that our groups are experiencing unprecedented levels of burnout, conflict and even harm. ‘Before We Fall Apart’ provides a tangible framework towards building trust, processes and skills to strengthen our movements.

In this year-long programme of online and offline gatherings, co-facilitators, Nishma and Dee, will support groups to use and reflect on a range of TJ tools with the goal of building out conflict infrastructures within their groups. The aim is to practice using these tools together and simultaneously build the way to move through future ruptures more generatively.
