Our panelists will be: Delvin Davis, from the Southern Poverty Law Center, Jennifer Elkins, from the UGA School of Social Work, Matthew Fayoyin,  from Clarke Middle School, and Sherlisa Praylo, from the Mediation Center of Savannah. This event is free and open to the public. The Georgia Conflict Center is inviting you to participate in an upcoming series of community conversations entitled: Reflect. Reckon. Rebuild. This program proposes a series of three community conversations that seek to engage and activate the local Athens-area community with regards to the impact of criminal justice involvement and the pursuit of more  just and equitable ways of dealing with harm and wrongdoing.  GCC will utilize the Peacemaking Circle Process as a tool for promoting democratic dialogue, truth-telling and collective action, particularly prioritizing underrepresented stories and experiences.
