Violence Prevention Programs
In 2016, ACT is launching the Restorative Justice initiative in order to deal with high rates of interpersonal, institutional, and structural violence. The emphasis of the Restorative Justice initiative is on healing and repairing harm, rather than violent methods of retaliation and punishment. The Restorative Justice initiative will help ACT and our members to:
- Build stronger relationships between community members
- Empower neighborhood residents to resolve issues without police intervention
- Begin repairing systemic harm done to the community by engaging larger institutions
