Host & Executive Producer - Molly Rowan Leach

Now in its sixth season and featuring freely accessible archives of dozens of national and global pioneers in the field, Molly Rowan Leach founded Restorative Justice on The Rise as a response to her own witnessing at an up close and personal level of the devastating effects of the punitive justice system: her own mother has been incarcerated with mental illness for close to 15 years in the State of Idaho.

What She Believes:

She believes there are many honorable and good people within the Correctional and Law Enforcement systems who would agree and are striving for viable solutions to a broken and inhumane system.

Her passion:

Her passion is helping bring forward the incredible work happening on every level in our world to integrate Restorative practices and justice into the mainstream.

Molly Rowan Leach is an international virtual dialogue host and PR/Outreach professional with a passion for peace, justice and individual and collective healing.

Her inspiration:

Ms. Leach is inspired also by the global traditions and movements of many on the periphery of societies and those who’ve experienced atrocity first-hand, and practices of the Indigenous peoples of our world, who’ve shown the way over time to help us regain a clarity that Restorative justice is nothing new, but a paradigm, practice, and a very viable systemic method whose time has come once again.
