2025 Michigan Restorative Justice Summit: Reclaiming a Culture of Healing
Mission
The Dispute Resolution Center (DRC) is hosting statewide 2025 Michigan Restorative Justice Summit, as an opportunity to invite, meet, and collaborate with practitioners, partners, and stakeholders of restorative practice in all its forms.
The Summit strives to continue to create spaces of dialogue, explore and expand how we practice this work, as well as, disrupting systems of colonization and oppression, building more restorative spaces, advocating for criminal legal reform in our communities, and what the future holds for RJ.
Vision
To honor and reclaim the true tenets of peacemaking and restorative justice means to move from a punishment and control mindset to centering healing and humanity. By embracing and practicing a restorative justice way of life, we must commit to healing ourselves, each other and our communities.
We recognize that this paradigm shift is not a moment, but a movement. The summit supports building trust and solidarity and how it can create space for resistance and movement building - whether that looks like rest, being in community, taking action and mobilizing around legislation. We seek to build a world of healers, peacemakers, and justice warriors and we hope you share in this vision too
