The “R” of the G.R.A.C.E mindset is Restorative Justice. How do we live into a practice and a mindset of Restorative Justice? Restorative Justice practices are community-based. They provide opportunities for dialogue and collaboration in the arenas of local or global harm, for the sake of environmental, hunger, gender, or racial justice concerns among others.
