Phoenix Cast
Ever watched, listened to, or read something and thought "Wow. There's a lot to unpack here"? We say that all the time and want to share with you our conversations unpacking the different parts of our culture and world which contribute to rape culture and continuous violence against others or the things which help us create a world where those things are less likely to thrive. Join the Phoenix Center at Auraria as we deconstruct pop culture and the world through an anti-racist, feminist, and anti-oppressionist lens. The Phoenix Center at Auraria is the interpersonal violence resource center serving the Auraria community.

Addressing Interpersonal Violence Through Restorative Justice with Members of Restorative Approaches to Intimate Violence (RAIV)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Megan talks with Larry Jefferson, Lucy Prout, and Jamelah Zidan from Restorative Approaches to Intimate Violence (RAIV), a community-based nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing interpersonal violence through restorative practices. They discuss what brought them all to doing restorative justice work to address interpersonal violence, how restorative justice provides options for holistic, person-centered responses to harm outside of the criminal legal system, and how RJ as a social movement offers a path toward a world that embodies community, dignity, and liberation.
Connect with RAIV (including information on opportunities to join as a community member or circle keeper) through their website and their LinkedIn
