This project was made possible with support from Unity Circles. We are deeply grateful for their commitment to centering communities most impacted by carceral systems and for their leadership in cultivating intergenerational networks grounded in the principles of Restorative Justice and Transformative Justice. Their support has been instrumental in helping Lilla G. Frederick Pilot Middle School document and archive the powerful community and justice efforts taking place across our learning community. This work reflects our shared vision of supporting young people in developing to their full potential in a welcoming and nurturing environment and creating positive connections to the larger community and the world they will lead.
