About the event
Join us as a Marcos Barrios speaks during our worship service about criminal justice and mental health. Marcos Barrios was previously incarcerated on Rikers and is now a criminal justice advocate with the Mental Health Project - Urban Justice Center and Freedom Agenda. Freedom Agenda is a member-led project, dedicated to organizing people and communities directly impacted by incarceration to achieve decarceration and system transformation. Restorative justice is a biblical alternative which has not been fully explored in our society, but has been used effectively in others. As Mahatma Gandhi said, "an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind."
