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.
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.
"Heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."
Psalm 147:3
