Question 1

What is transformative justice?

Accepted Answer

Transformative justice (TJ) is a response to harm that seeks to create safety, protection, and healing outside of state processes (police, prisons, courts) that themselves cause harm. TJ recognizes that prisons and police cause violence and serve to uphold an oppressive status quo.

Question 2

What is the difference between transformative justice (TJ) and restorative justice (RJ)?

Accepted Answer

While many practices in TJ align with restorative justice (RJ), a notable difference is the political commitment to work outside of governmental and legal systems. Transformative justice does not compromise on abolitionist goals of developing true and comprehensive alternatives to policing.

Question 3

Where can I go to learn more?

Accepted Answer

A good starting point is the blog for Mia Mingus, founder of the Bay Area TJ Collective: https://leavingevidence.wordpress.com/2019/01/09/transformative-justice-a-brief-description/

Question 4

Why do you ask for donations? Where does the money go?

Accepted Answer

Your generosity covers internal costs including compensating care-workers who allow us to be present and healthy for this work. Please see this article re: trying to build autonomously from philanthropic institutions:

Question 5

Are you available to confer on specific situations or projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Tati is offering this political education solo right now but has a network of practitioners to pull from in meeting the real struggles of putting TJ into practice.

Question 6

Will the session be recorded?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we will send a link with the recording to all registered participants which will expire within a week. We will also share out resources to spark further exploration on this topic.
