The following are some ideas as to what can be done in the
communities to raise the awareness level of Americans regarding
Restorative Justice.
- Cross cultural prayer vigil held in the downtown square
- Visits to the local youth and adult detention facilities, jails
and/or prisons.
- Invite speakers to speak in High Schools, Colleges, Civic Clubs,
and Churches on restorative justice topics. Make sure that these are
people that know what they are talking about. There will be a
Speaker's Bureau posted on this site.
- Have an information and discussion evening where you have speakers
representing different segments of the criminal justice mission field.
- Daily prayer vigil's on the grounds of the legislature.
- An evening discussion with families of the incarcerated (both
youth and adults), facilitated by someone who understands restorative
justice principles.
- Putting Restorative Justice Week posters up in different areas of
the community such as churches, schools, government offices,
businesses, etc.
- Distributing Restorative Justice brochures in churches, schools,
government offices and businesses.
- Asking pastors to preach restorative justice sermons during the
week.
- Communicating with the local radio, newspaper and television
Restorative Justice Week through PSAs.
- Attempt to have victim offender mediation processes going on in
the community.
- Have a community wide event to honor criminal justice
professionals.
