Organizing for Sustainability
Legislation
This committee focuses on both legislation that is explicitly focused on advancing restorative justice opportunity and on kindred policy such as health access, housing, economic equity, and more.
Practicioner Exchange
A monthly gathering for those facilitating the implementation of restorative practices and / or harm repair in order to share, support and learn from each other.
Education
This committee seeks to establish best practice, to listen to and support local school communities and to imbue cultures of dignity and worth into every educational setting possible.
What is MERJ?
MERJ is a coalition that warmly embraces individuals who belong to community-based restorative practice organizations or who self-identify as independent community-based restorative practitioners. Our practice of open doors and belonging culture eagerly seeks guests or interested parties to join us in our journey toward collective community healing, valuing each and every contribution.
We strive to do this work with cultural awareness, which means we respect and value the
diversity of cultures and communities we serve. This is a key aspect of our work, as it helps us understand power dynamics and other roles/barriers/systems that prevent us from doing it in its full capacity and ensures that our practices are inclusive and respectful of all individuals and communities.
Let us together build a flourishing Maine
This work is not just about us, it’s about the community. We do this work to build relationships, repair harm, and support and strengthen communities. We aim to collaboratively establish and sustain restorative practices and principles across Maine by building resources, advocating for legislation, promoting education, and fostering cooperation among restorative justice practitioners. Our involvement is crucial in making this vision a reality.
