Forward Justice and SpiritHouse South, have launched a Community Transformative Healing Justice Program that prioritizes caring and healing for our communities disproportionately impacted by initially COVID-19 and structural harms.
Underrepresented communities in Durham
From forwardjustice.org/campaigns/transformative-justice-project ↗Our primary goal is to provide interdisciplinary, culturally rooted, and comprehensive resources designed to address the systemic harms, including public health harms, that consistently burden people living in underrepresented communities.
Our program is built on the foundational commitment to investing in the healing, wellness, and wholeness of underrepresented communities. Together, we offer a variety of educational and training opportunities spanning health and wellness, community advocacy, civic activism and engagement, culture and arts, and self/community healing, all held in a space that is safe, welcoming, and free from harm for Durham's underrepresented communities.
Through creative and cultural expression, the initiative seeks to acknowledge structural inequities while fostering healing, connection, and joy.
