“Sitting in a circle remnoves barriers, literally and figuratively. With no desks, laptops or other obstructions in front of us, we can really focus and engage in the conversation.
Any power structure is flattened, particularly in a circle that uses a talking piece.”
Lorna Baldry

Michelle Alexander
“[V]irtually no one commits violence without first surviving it. Reflexively locking people in cages and subjecting them to degradation and humiliation-inflicting violence and suffering upon people in order to teach them that violence is wrong-is a doomed strategy, especially considering that most people who commit violent crime are victims are well. If we want to reduce violence in our communities, we need to hold people accountable in ways that aim to repair and prevent harm rather than simply inflicting more harm and trauma and calling it justice.”
Michelle Alexander, The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness
