[RestorativeJustice] Fwd: FW: PBS Documentary on MI Native American Tribal Justice & Racial Equity Available for Educational Resource

[Mary Ann Hergenrother]

I love it and would support showing it. Maybe as an evening 6-8 collab
event w RJA. I’m wary of trying to push too many events into the Sunday
time slots. Just a thought.
The more we expose people to RJ, the more word and support will grow for
the work!!

It also speaks to the larger community UUAA RJ is intertwined with.
