Founded in 2011 by Molly Rowan Leach to offer a public platform for engagement, provide voice to those doing grassroots work, hear stories of transformation and challenge alike, and to reach underserved communities worldwide, Restorative Justice on The Rise has grown into a global virtual network and community of practitioners, academics, students, teachers, and citizens who are daily amplifying the movement within and beyond restorative justice.

In the birth of podcasting and before Zoom was a "thing", Restorative Justice on The Rise emerged as the world's first restorative justice podcast featuring mainly live public dialogue formats, open to global audiences and participants to engage directly with featured guests. The mission to invite honest and sometimes difficult dialogues that also transform our worldviews and empower us, is the je ne sais crois of this advocacy platform.

People from all over the world participate in our various online opportunities including: LIVE PUBLIC PODCASTS & PANELS that are interactive (meaning, you get to have conversations together with guests, not just the host/s)  To engage us, all you need to do is sign up for our email notifications about upcoming dialogues and events!

We also offer extensive resources and connection points at any of our online events with a global consituency of practitioners, academics, grassroots social impact artists, and more.

RJ on The Rise has robust archives and current interviews alike, including with Bryan Stevenson, Kay Pranis, Ram Tiwari, Dr. Johan Galtung, Charles Eisenstein, Arun Gandhi, James O'Dea, Azim Khamisa, Michelle Alexander, Sheryl Wilson -- the list goes on.
