This event is part of our Speaking of Humanism series held December 8, 6:30-8:00 pm ET on Zoom (http://americanhumanist.org/SpeakingOfHumanism) and Facebook Live (facebook.com/americanhumanist/live), and recorded to share on our website.
In 2012, the Center for NuLeadership on Human Justice and Healing introduced the human justice theory of change framework for exploring what it means and takes to achieve justice, safety, accountability, and well-being. This talk will share the stories and journeys that gave rise to not just the theory but the application of Human Justice and what that looks like in the day-to-day.
