“The answer to hate is not more hate; it is compassion. Punishing the defendant with a lengthy prison sentence or a burdensome financial fine would not rehabilitate him. It would not repair the harm he has caused. It would only increase his anger and resentment.”

Incredible. Rep. (And Hero) Ilhan Omar has asked for a restorative justice process with the man who threatened her life and now faces a lengthy prison sentence. We ❤️ you, Rep. Omar! And if you need incredibly talented and trained volunteers to facilitate this restorative process, we know just where to find them!
