Our Transformative Justice series continues this Friday (11/4) at 10AM in the Multimedia Room of the Bunch Library at Belmont. Our guest is Reverend Stacy Rector, the Executive Director of Tennesseans for Alternative to the Death Penalty (TDAP) for the last sixteen years. As we’ve discussed in our exchanges with Anthony Ray Hinton, Dr. Larycia Hawkins, Rahim Buford, Justin Jones, and Reality Winner, unexamined feelings become unexamined decisions which become unexamined laws and policies. If policy is liturgy writ large, what do the liturgies of retaliation, incarceration, and killing tell us about ourselves? Transformative justice, unlike retaliatory justice, seeks the healing of all parties.
Mostly I'd love to hear the conversation. I'm in Georgia working for abolition and not able to attend locally. Perhaps one question is: what would you like to see "beyond the death penalty?" What could it look like if we abolished the death penalty by execution and even life in prison without parole? Thank you! Cathy

Yes, and is it interactive--ask questions?
Will this be available to see/hear virtually?
