Elizabeth Street) for our final Community Luncheon Roundtable of 2023. To close out the year, we'll welcome good friends from Prescriptions for Repair, a (recently completed) pilot initiative using restorative practices to "listen and learn what gun violence survivors need to heal." We're grateful for a chance to offer space and voice to folks who've spent many hours in deep, intentional listening to 30 of our neighbors most-impacted by gun violence. Come expecting a fresh and grounded perspective on the truth of our violence, and the gift of our sacred attention. As always, a delicious lunch is free and everybody is welcome. |
