Community Dinner and Film "Healing Justice"

  • Presbyterian New England Congregational Church 24 Circular Street Saratoga Springs, NY 12866 (map)

Community Potluck Dinner: 5:30 / Film: 6:50

Begin the evening with a community dinner and conversation. Bring a dish to share if you’d like.

At 7 sharp, we’ll gather for a virtual watch party of “Healing Justice,” the newest film from World Trust: Social Justice & Equity Movement Building. The film explores the causes and consequences of the current North American justice system and its effect on marginalized communities. “Healing Justice” walks back through the history of violence that has led to our current system, bringing into focus the histories of trauma – on a personal, interpersonal, community, and generational level. 

This powerful documentary addresses the school-to-prison pipeline, the need for comprehensive criminal justice reform, and the importance of healing and restorative practices.

Live audio Q&A with Dr. Shakti Butler to follow.
