Fania E. Davis, Oakland attorney and director of Restorative Justice for Oakland Youth (RJOY), will speak at the Wellstone Democratic Renewal Club meeting on Thursday, February 26, 2015, at 7 pm at the Humanist Hall, 390 27th Street, Oakland. Ms. Davis will discuss Restorative Justice principles, practices, data, with applications in Oakland. She will also touch on how Restorative Justice might be used to address police violence and structural racism. A potluck dinner begins at 6 pm; please bring food to share.
The dramatic successes of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in healing the wounds of mass violence in South Africa and of restorative juvenile justice legislation in making youth incarceration virtually obsolete in New Zealand inspired civil rights attorney and community activist Fania E. Davis to explore the possibility of an Oakland initiative.

Dear Nonaccommodationists,
If you really want to end this contrived, new, racist Jim Crow called the ‘eternal WAR to end drug use’ all you have to do is ‘demand’ just one hearing in Congress or the legislature in Sacramento where European officials can explain their freer, more just and non racism serving crime and drug laws.
All the facts 100% evidence if this ‘FREEST, MOST JUST NATION ON EARTH’ were to TRY their laws up to 95% of U.S. prisons would close, innocent lives would be saved, streets made safer, etc. All the facts are out there, but good luck in finding even one ‘caring’ politician, rights attorney, rights org. et al—Black, White or Latino—that will ever call for just one hearing. They will lament and bemoan this evil but bottom line human nature never changes and they benefit too much from being ‘accommodationists’ to risk becoming an activist.
For MLK, Emit, Laquan, Tamir, Mr. Gray, et al,
henry, a nobody nonaccommodationist
