Restorative Justice with Sharlette Evans and Mike Martin

Many of you are familiar with the work of RAWtools (turning guns into garden tools), but the deeper part of our work involves restorative justice. The founder of RAWTools, Mike Martin, will join us along with Sharletta Evans who is at the forefront of the Restorative Justice movement in America. Sharletta’s three year old son, Casson, was killed in the cross-fire during a shooting by teenagers. Many years later, one of the boys sentenced to life without parole began to correspond with her. Join us for this special event to hear how they continue to work together to heal the wounds of violence.
