Restorative Justice Movement

Restorative Justice Movement (RJM) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in St. Louis, committed to advancing restorative justice through education, community engagement, and advocacy. Restorative justice teaches accountability and responsibility by repairing harm through intentional, open dialogue rooted in care. It is the work of rebuilding by fostering unity, understanding, and mutual support within our communities. It is the practice of restoring relationships and trust through communication, empathy, and shared understanding. And it is the ongoing effort to renew our systems by raising awareness of injustice and promoting fairness, equity, and inclusivity. At our core, we are a movement grounded in healing, justice, and transformative change—one day at a time.




 

Restorative Justice teaches individuals to voice their needs and experiences in a supportive space. It encourages those who have caused harm to take accountability, acknowledge the impact of their actions, and actively participate in making things right.

By addressing the root causes of harm and conflict, RJM works to prevent future incidents and foster lasting healing. We prioritize rehabilitation over punishment, focusing on restoring trust through open dialogue and mutual understanding among all parties involved.

We center and support community members impacted by trauma, mental illness, addiction, and both interpersonal and systemic violence. At the same time, we equip institutions with the restorative tools and education needed to address and transform harmful practices within systems like healthcare, education, and the justice system.

Rooted in the values of healing, accountability, empathy, collaboration, and inclusivity, our work draws on Indigenous wisdom to challenge and transform punitive systems. We remain deeply committed to this essential and ongoing work.

"Heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."

 

Psalm 147:3
