My co-organizer and I are planning a community response to recent hate crimes and they want to focus on healing the targeted community while I want to focus on confronting the perpetrators and changing their behavior.

More people experience this than they realize.
Two people are trying to design a community response that honors both healing harm and preventing future harm but struggling to integrate their different focal points.
“Where Are You with Ubuntu justice — healing over punishment?”
