History

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, and the list goes on.

Endorsement From Fania Davis
Author of The Little Book of Race and Restorative Justice and Globally-Beloved Servant Leader asking for us to be the Warrior AND the Healer, at the intersections of Race and Restorative Justice:

"Restorative Justice on The Rise makes history as the first public media platform devoted to restorative justice. Scores of inspiring interviews, talks, panels, circles, and dialogues that reimagine justice  have made their way into the headphones, car stereos, and daily lives of countless listeners globally. The power of public  media to create narrative change cannot be overestimated. This public forum open to a global citizenry not only helps shift the narrative but also redirects the course of what is possible in our individual and communal futures."

THE WORLD'S FIRST VIRTUAL SOCIAL IMPACT SPACE FOCUSED ON RESTORATIVE JUSTICE INVITES THE GLOBAL PUBLIC TO ENGAGE IN VARIOUS OFFERINGS AND BE OPEN TO DIFFICULT AND TRANSFORMATIONAL DIALOGUE!
