Restorative Justice on The Rise
is an international live dialogue via Webcast and Telecouncil platform,
held weekly, reaching an international constituency of a wide spectrum
of invididuals, organizations, professionals, academics, practitioners,
stakeholders and beyond. It was founded by Peace Alliance Restorative
Justice Fellow and C3 Board Member Molly
Rowan Leach in September of 2011. She is Executive Producer and Host.
In its 3rd full season the series provides a live dialogue circle for
connectivity, education, action, advocacy and more regarding Restorative
justice and the powerful times we are amidst as an old worn-out Prison Industrial Complex dies and punitive paradigms no longer are accepted as appropriate when crime and conflict occur.
The Restorative Justice on The Rise weekly webcast/telecouncil series
features global guest speakers from many diverse backgrounds and areas
in the field and related fields and has included powerful conversations
with equally powerful leaders on community and global levels such as Kay
Pranis, Robin Casarjian, Azim Khamisa, Steve Korr, The River Phoenix Center for Peacebuilding, Arun Gandhi, Fleet Maull, Dr. Judith Thompson, Belvie Rooks and Dedan Gills, Lauren Abramson, Dr. Carl Stauffer, Michelle Alexander, Sujatha Baliga, Lois DeMott, Dominic Barter, and so many others doing significant work and sharing their stories.
The Peace Alliance is committed to mobilizing and educating while
offering a greater depth of resources in this area and longer term plans
include a clickable map for easy access to local, state, national, and
global resources in RJ and related fields.
The telecouncil is a service of our collective part in transformation
of our systems, and is for you, the people who matter, day to day, as
we mobilize and change our world for the better, together. Thank you for
your participation in this series, and please consider helping keep it

About Your Host, Molly Rowan Leach
Now in its third season and featuring freely accessible archives of
over three dozen national and global pioneers in the field, Molly Rowan
Leach founded Restorative Justice on The Rise as a response to her own
witnessing at an up close and personal level of the devastating effects
of the punitive justice system: her own mother has been incarcerated
with mental illness for close to 15 years in the State of Idaho.
She believes there are many honorable and good people within the
Correctional and Law Enforcement systems who would agree and are
striving for viable solutions to a broken and inhumane system. Her
passion thus is helping bring forward the incredible work happening on
every level in our world to integrate Restorative practices
and justice into the mainstream. Ms. Leach is inspired also by the
global traditions and movements of many on the periphery of societies
and those who’ve experienced atrocity first-hand, and practices of the
Indigenous peoples of our world, who’ve shown the way over time to help
us regain a clarity that Restorative justice is nothing new, but a
paradigm, practice, and a very viable systemic method whose time has
come once again.CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE.
