Screening of Circle Up and Post-Screening Restorative Justice Circle

Description

Join us for a screening of “Circle Up.” After the brutal slaying of her teenage son, Janet Connors reaches out to her son's killer to offer a chance at forgiveness. They team up with a group of mothers of murdered children to help young people in their community break the chain of violence and revenge. “Circle Up” is a call to action for reframing approaches to crime and punishment though the lens of restorative justice, forgiveness, and accountability. After the screening there will be a Restorative Justice Circle.

This event is co-sponsored by the Cambridge Commission on the Status of Women
