Across Michigan people are organizing community violence intervention, mobilizing for police accountability, building restorative justice alternatives to traditional prosecution, and more. In support of these efforts, MI-CEMI, with our partners the Detroit Justice Center, Friends of Restorative Justice, the Michigan Roundtable for Diversity and Inclusion, and Emergent Justice are hosting a compilation of virtual sessions entitled, MI Learning Community: Building Connections to Transform Public Safety and Prevent Incarceration.

This community is thoughtfully designed for advocates and practitioners actively engaged in efforts related to community violence intervention, police accountability/ ending police harm, restorative justice, alternative emergency response, re-entry, and other innovative approaches to enhance public safety and prevent incarceration in Michigan.
