TJ is a framework created by marginalized communities of survivors of violence who did not and could not rely on institutional forms of "Justice" (courts, police...).

This framework, unlike the systems of "Justice" we know, calls for radical healing as it cares to address the roots of violence to break generational cycles of harm, using accountability as a tool of agency and repair, as well as centering the voices & healing of survivors instead of the punishment of harm-doers.

TJ, in this way, is like a mycelium network:

mycelium (plural:mycelia) is a root-like structure of a fungus consisting of a mass of branching, thread-like fungus that breaks down and absorbs surrounding organic matter into nutrients that can be absorbed and used as nourishment.

TJ seeks to break down violence and trauma into agency and accountability so that Care becomes an active and automatic response in each and every interaction.

Bring your pod, your squad, your loved ones, bring someone ! Tell every body !

Violence is hurting our community and we can not expect our governments to care for us. Let’s do that together.
