THPS Branch Meeting RoomExplore how Nonviolent Communication (NVC) can serve as a powerful tool for healing, accountability, and justice for survivors of state violence, inspired by Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson.
This workshop examines the transformative potential of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) as a tool for reparative justice in the face of state violence. Drawing on themes from Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson, participants will explore how NVC can foster empathy, amplify survivor voices, and support healing-centered justice practices. We’ll delve into survivor-centered approaches, truth-telling, and accountability while unpacking how systemic harm, particularly within the criminal legal system, disproportionately impacts marginalized communities. Through interactive activities and discussion, attendees will leave with practical strategies for using NVC to advocate for justice, support survivors, and challenge punitive systems with compassion and care.
