Scenario

When community justice groups disagree on healing versus prevention

Our community justice circle is split between people who want to focus on healing the harm done to victims and people who want to focus on transforming the conditions that created the harm in the first place. Both feel essential but we keep getting stuck on where to put our energy and some members are threatening to leave.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group committed to Ubuntu justice is fracturing over whether to prioritize immediate harm repair or systemic transformation.
