So inspiring to see how Judge Aquilina dealt with the case against Larry Nassar. Her approach to giving survivors and victims a space to speak and express their pain directly to the abuser, Nassar, was an incredible example of what our justice system could aspire to - a force not just for accountability, but also for restorative justice.

A fascinating piece on the possibilities - and the limitations - of restorative justice in the context of domestic violence.
Ultimately, it doesn't offer us a clean solution, a clear outcome. This is messy, complicated, and redemption is no guarantee.
"Raising money locally can be hard work, as Jenny Barry and Okeoma Ibe have discussed about Mexico and Nigeria, respectively. It’s far easier, of course, to submit a proposal to an eager external donor who shares your goals, and, let’s not deny it, your jargon.
Local funding is a crucial—and sadly overlooked—part of a larger strategy for getting people to learn and care about your cause.But local funding is not just about the money. As Gudovic, To and Barry have previously inferred, it is a crucial—and sadly overlooked—part of a larger strategy for constituency building, for getting people to learn and care about your cause, so that when your organization gets closed down there are people in the community that may actually notice and care."

A new post, calling for more empathy in light of the attacks in Paris:
"In this time of grief, is anger really right response? Is it right to deny someone else’s right to mourn? There is much to be frustrated about, no doubt, but perhaps the core message must be that we do not need less empathy, but more – much more empathy. We can all show more empathy for tragedies and victims and survivors in our own backyard but also across the world. We can all take moments in future t...ragedies to seek out information, read what is happening on the ground, understand, share with our networks and take action. We can all do more to highlight on our newsfeeds what is happening not just in our own countries, but also in the most marginalized of communities. We can seek out alternate media and figure out new, different ways to inform ourselves about what the mainstream sources are not always reporting. More empathy paired with action could be crucial in changing the status quo. And so, let’s call for this change with empathy for all those lives lost, without devaluing a single person’s grief, and with a change in our own behavior and the way we consume and process media."
