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.
