Dear John,
I hope that the new year has so far brought you peace, health, and excitement for what lays ahead. I speak for all of us at EJUSA when I tell you how eager I am for the opportunities to build community safety in cities and neighborhoods across the country.
There’s so much happening:
*
The
Restorative
Justice
Project
team

is
settling
in
and
making
strong
connections
to
their
new
teammates
across
our
programs
and
department.
*
Several
death
penalty
repeal
campaigns
across
the
country
continue
to
gain
momentum.
*
Trauma
to
Trust
workshops
will
continue
this
spring
in
Newark
and,
for
the
second
year,
in
Baton
Rouge.
*
Our
capacity
building
team
will
launch
a
new
fellowship
to
strengthen
our
grassroots
partners
in
Louisiana
with
infrastructure
building,
training,
and
more.
*
Nationwide,
we
will
be
supporting
legislative
advocacy
while
also
amplifying
the
voices
and
building
support
for
grassroots
leaders
dedicated
to
healing
and
public
safety.
There’s so much more — we will make sure you hear about it.
I did want to take a second to thank so many of you who helped on a special project. Earlier this year, we applied to the prestigious South By Southwest (SXSW) conference in Austin, TX. Because of your votes, we were accepted!
On March 9, I’ll be joined by three incredible minds to talk about how “Community is the Future of Public Safety.” The panel will include Lisa Daniels, executive director of Darren B. Easterling Center for Restorative Practices; Gregory Jackson, deputy director of the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention; and myself. And our moderator will be James Cadogan, the executive director of the National Basketball Social Justice Coalition.
This is an incredible opportunity because we will have a chance to reach a new and broader audience to share our innovative ideas about public safety.
I’m so grateful for the support you give EJUSA, in so many ways, and for your investment in the solutions we all believe in.
Toward justice,
Jamila Hodge
Chief Executive Officer
