As we return to school, recent changes to longstanding civil rights standards within the Department of Education, as well as increased policing in schools, will likely lead to increased criminalization of ordinary childhood and adolescent behaviors of black and brown children and youth in schools.

The Georgia Conflict Center's collaboration with Latino Community Fund has been a long time coming. Danny had the opportunity to join LGF Georgia's staff retreat and explore restorative approaches to conflict and communication with them. We are honored to support them in their work of advancing democracy, protecting and building communities, and expanding economic opportunity, particularly for the Latino community in Georgia, and we are looking forward to a growing relationship of collaboration and support.

GCC Program Manager Mikhayla Smith had the opportunity to visit one of our Common Justice Cohort partners, Collective Climb. Collective Climb is a Black-feminist organization focused empowering youth and communities in Philadelphia through restorative justice. Mikhayla was able to experience Collective Climb's passion for community, connection, and collaboration. Mikhayla left feeling inspired, and excited for what is possible through restorative justice. We are grateful!
