Transformative justice
Path of individuals and collective healing through community accountability, compassion, and commitment. It was a way of creating a system of community-based justice grounded in the humanity -not the brokenness- of i t s members in our creative capacity to transform and heal from living in a violent and imbalanced society. Instead of turning to the state, we drew on the streng t h and resources already in our community to end sexual assault and bu ild safer, healthier relations among and between activists.

We envision a world where everyday people can intervene in incidences of child sexual abuse in ways that 
not only meet immediate needs such as stopping current violence, securing safety and taking accountability for harm; but that also 
prevent future violence and harm by actively cultivating things such as healing, accountability and resiliency for all — survivors, bystanders, and those who have abused others.

Conflict to work with:
    - older man crossing the line of youngsters admiring him, how to asnwer him so that he hears it - subtle tone of him makes it difficult
    - growing public presence of hate, intolerance, racism, ecology
    - ideological, move from radical leftist to ideological 'mutual' (?) environments, frustration of being the trouble maker, attention/energies towards 1 person instead of towards the group, weird dynamics what do you speak from and who do you speak to
    - sexual harassment in the street, slow reaction, threw stones - to understadn when something is a limit, not being afraid to say this is my limit - women in patriarchal society & private life
    - how ot create family/friend like structure where there is  commitment and places of suuport for pain issues, without producing familiar violence
