Collective Justice is a restorative justice organization brought together by survivors and imprisoned community members in Washington State. Through the collective wisdom and power of our members, they work toward cultural and systemic transformation that centers the dignity and resilience of all people impacted by mass imprisonment and violence. Join us at Holden Village this fall for an event led by these fantastic facilitators from Collective Justice:
Taylor Tibbs
Taylor Tibbs (she/they) is a HEAL Team facilitator with Collective Justice, mentor, racial justice advocate, and auntie born and raised in Seattle. They joined the collective in 2021 to learn more about incorporating Restorative Justice into their education equity work and fell in love with the vibrant and caring CJ Community. Taylor is deeply committed to practicing accountability, compassion for all living beings, and Restorative Justice as a pathway to systems change. They are committed to practicing self love, compassion for all living things (except spiders), and believes that their liberation as a Black and Queer Person is connected to the liberation of all people. Taylor dreams of opening a bookstore with friends and creating a hub for folx of color to gather, rest and practice mutual aid.
Brandon Pedro
Brandon Pedro does his community work through Community Passageways and Collective Justice. Guided by the experience of rising from and beyond the violence of multi-state systems. He comes from two generations of incarceration and has been negatively impacted by the public school system. As a HEALING Justice practitioner, he faces his trauma while honoring the space for resiliency. He shares these practices with those he serves: youth, formerly/incarcerated, and whomever he can.
Priya Nair
Priya Nair immigrated to the U.S. when she was almost nineteen years old. Her world and work are shaped by this experience, and she imagines a future where all people — regardless of their identities — have safe, loving, accountable, and accessible communities and relationships. She deeply believes that we all are capable of doing and surviving harm, and spends most of her time thinking about how we create relationships and communities that are able to hold that complexity, and build structures that generate healing and accountability. Priya has a BS in Biology from the University of Washington, and started volunteering and then working at API Chaya as a healthcare outreach coordinator. Her current role is as a volunteer and community organizer at API Chaya.
Chloe Huber
Chloe Huber is a member of Collective Justice and South King County & Eastside Mutual Aid, and a participant in survivor-led and survivor-stewarded healing and arts spaces. Her experience is in collaborating on community-based healing spaces for persons who have experienced gender-based violence, grounded in a value of meeting the essential needs of shelter and food first. Chloe is also a member of API Chaya’s RISE! Circle and offers healing and political power-building through creative arts for BIPOC and/or API survivors of sexual violence and abuse.
Holden Village is a community where your questions are valued and encouraged. Most programs led by visiting teaching faculty occur during the summer months. However, Holden also invites faculty to teach sessions for special events and retreats throughout the rest of the year.
