The thing I like about transformative justice is that for me its breaking shit down to the nitty gritty, we're dealing with people's humanity here, and that strips a lot of the bullshit away that I've seen in leftist circles that turn me off, its strips talking at people like you're in a kitchen sink debate, it makes you confront yourself if you're going to confront others, and it removes the fake if done correctly.

Like you can bring the same bullshit you always do to TJ, but then you're not doing TJ. You're not building, you're not vulnerable, you're not growing, you're not in community with others or forging connections.

You have to bring your authentic, vulnerable self to TJ because if you dont you'll leave with the same dissatisfaction you came with.

I may not be alive to see it, but I will do everything i can in my lifetime to make it that much more possible. . We cannot end domestic and sexual violence with prisons. We must be able to define justice outside of the courts. We must build community responses to violence *within our own communities* that are human, transformative, generative and visionary. .

We are building a reality that we have never seen before."
