Huge thanks to HUD Region 1 Administrator Juana B. Matias for her incredible leadership in emceeing today’s phenomenal homeless summit on the beautiful grounds of Assumption University. Kudos to Rhonda Siciliano for orchestrating this massive undertaking. I was honored to join John Yazwinski and Joe Finn (moderator) — two gentlemen I respect and admire tremendously — for the session on best practices in developing partnerships. Much appreciation to fellow panelists Dan Brennan, Matilde (Mattie) Castiel, and Ahrehon Thompson, M.S. for their honest, thoughtful, and solutions-based comments. And always great to see Bob Shumeyko, Adam Ploetz, AICP, and Amy Yuhasz - thank you all for your unwaivering support of our efforts in Quincy to address this issue!

📣 It’s Pod Drop Tuesday! 🔵 Episode 140: The Hopeful Pragmatist https://lnkd.in/gUwzuYhd This week on the show, Dr. Shaunna Payne Gold and Lisa Ingarfield, Ph.D. discuss a whole host of issues ranging from renaming monuments and federal landmarks to criminalizing the #unhoused in Oregon. Tying it all together is hope - who has greater access to hope that things will change? Word of the Week [1:20]: Homeless to Unhoused. If we're being totally transparent, we've probably been raised and socialized to place a negative value on those who experience homelessness, or houselessness. Let’s talk about it. Phase 1 [5:01]: Rename It. Whether it's in response to mascots, statues, buildings, or transportation, renaming things has become a norm when new or negative information is discovered. Mount Blue Sky in Colorado is no different. Phase 2 [17:44]: Criminalizing the Unhoused. Grants Pass, Oregon passed a city ordinance enabling local police to ticket their unhoused community. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in this case and a prior case (from Boise, ID), that criminalizing sleeping in public places when there is no where else to go is a violation of the Constitution’s Eighth Amendment prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment. #SCOTUS hears the case this week and Dr. Lisa and Dr. Shaunna are not optimistic. The comfort of people with houses will likely prevail over those who are truly marginalized. Phase 3 [33:18]: The #Privilege of Hope. After a curious tweet about Brittney Griner's financial need to play basketball in Russia, Dr. Shaunna and Dr. Lisa dive into their divergent takes on their hope that humans will treat each other better. #podcast #diversity #equity #inclusion #belonging

I lead messaging, communications, and media relations strategies that drive change for political, nonprofit, and private sector missions.
Many people ask what actions they can take to engage on the #NationalDayOfRacialHealing and this is one simple action to ensure we all can learn #HowWeHeal.
Your local leaders can – and should! – commit to racial healing on #NationalDayOfRacialHealing and every day. When policymakers choose to learn and advance #RacialHealing, they choose to acknowledge and address systemic racism and can promote policies that get to the root of why we heal: to address inequities in systems like housing, education, public safety, and other day-to-day things. That’s why we created the Policymaker Action Kit: to remind our leaders that they have the power to facilitate these conversations in their communities. Want to participate in National Day? Let your leaders know that their constituents are ready to heal. Download our action kit and send it to your leader using the sample email in our graphic below: https://lnkd.in/gxcPvmd5

Check out my conversation with CCRJP about starting Restorative Jeff Co!
"CCRJP: How did Restorative Jeff Co get started? Jenna: There has been a lot of desire and work to get restorative justice work in Jefferson County over the last 15 years or so. I feel like our current success rests on the work of others, namely Liz Porter-Merrill, who educated and mobilized community stakeholders. The stakeholder group decided they would apply for a grant to hire someone to develop what has become Restorative Jeff Co. I was hired and started working a year ago and already had partners who were interested in starting the work. As relationships are the foundation of restorative justice, they are also the foundation of Restorative Jeff Co. We started by building those relationships and continue to strengthen them and work toward more connections within the county." #RestorativeJeffCo #RestorativeColorado https://conta.cc/483eaXa

As an alumna of Maytree's Policy School, I'm very excited to have been asked to participate in Maytree's Five Good Ideas series. Working front line and being able to advocate effectively should naturally co-exist, but it's extremely challenging to be able to balance both. I'll be speaking to my experiences finding this balance (sometimes shakily) and how front line organizations and individuals can participate in advocacy and political change. https://lnkd.in/gSYh5vAq
Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Five Good Ideas on advocating for change from the frontline . After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.

These are the stories of those impacted by youth violence and the extreme sentencing of youth who have found transformative healing through restorative justice. Survivors. Families. Communities. Condemned children. In our new story bank, 'Restorative Stories,' we'll regularly feature members of our community who have embraced restorative justice and transformative healing as models for resolving conflict, repairing harm, and finding healing. https://lnkd.in/e7QidxCg

Restorative justice is a transformative approach that prioritizes healing, accountability that repairs, and community restoration over punishment. By focusing on repairing harm, we create a justice system that serves everyone. Restorative justice provides a platform for those who have been harmed to have their voices heard and their needs addressed. It allows those who have caused harm to understand the impact of their actions and take meaningful steps toward making amends. Ultimately, it strengthens our communities by fostering understanding, empathy, and mutual respect. Let’s work together to shift towards a justice system that truly heals and restores. #RestorativeJustice #HealingCommunities #JusticeTransformation
