Cincinnati St\, Spokane\, WA\nRegistrationComing soonEmail brcspokane@gmail.com\n\nWhat Restorative Justice Means for Spokane\nRestorative justice asks a different question than the traditional legal system. Instead of focusing only on what rule was broken and what punishment fits\, it asks who was harmed\, what they need and how the people involved can repair the damage together. Practices like talking circles bring people face to face to share their concerns and their hopes\, and many of those practices come from Indigenous traditions that have guided communities for generations. \nBuilding Restorative Communities is the Spokane NAACP initiative that brings this work to neighborhoods across the city. Over the past year it has hosted community circles\, book conversations on restorative justice and documentary screenings at Spokane libraries and community spaces. The Building Restorative Communities Gathering 2026 is its largest event yet\, bringing those threads together over a Friday evening and a full Saturday. \nSave the Date: November 13 and 14 \nRegistration details are coming soon. Email Building Restorative Communities to get on the list for updates. \nEmail for Details\nNAACP Spokane\nTwo Ways to Take Part\nThe Friday evening session of the Building Restorative Communities Gathering 2026 runs from 5:30 to 8:30 PM and the Saturday session runs from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM\, both at Gonzaga University School of Law.
