Facilitating Restorative Justice with Garien Gatewood - EP 17

Care Work with Alida Miranda-Wolff

Why are we so good at finding problems, but so poor at solving them? This is the question Alida Miranda-Wolff puts to Chicago Deputy Mayor of Community Safety Garien Gatewood and the conversation that spans juvenile justice reform and implementation disconnects to real-life examples from the world of cannabis legalization.

You’ll be inspired by Garien’s insights, gleaned from years of working on the frontlines of marginalized community care:

• The practices that open doors that have long been closed to Black individuals
• The consequences of prioritizing personal convenience over equity for all
• The need for practical implementation support over problem-finding and recommendations
• The assumptions and stigmas that keep real change from taking shape
