generationFIVE has been developing and experimenting with Transformative Justice for the last decade. Transformative Justice is a libratory approach to responding to and preventing intimate and community violence. We work to offer alternatives to collusion with child sexual abuse – and other forms of intimate, community, and state violence – as well as approaches for addressing violence and power within our movements and organizations. Transformative Justice seeks to deeply integrate personal and social transformation. Transformative Justice calls for individual as well as community accountability and transformation of the social conditions that perpetuate child sexual abuse and other forms of violence.
We use a politicized understanding of trauma, healing, and typical community responses to intimate violence to inform our organizing. We also look to how we can engage individual and community resilience to make all of our work more powerful and transformative. In this workshop we will learn about how to apply these understandings of trauma, resilience and healing to ourselves, our organizing work and within our organizations. We will explore somatic practices to support this, and help answer the questions of how and what we need to practice to align with TJ politics and principles.
