Processes & Interventions

Members of The Bay Area Transformative Justice Collective have supported folks in our local community experiencing, doing, or witnessing harm and violence by directly supporting interventions and processes since our founding. In doing so, we are constantly learning about and sharpening our skills for strategically and compassionately responding to and intervening in these instances. As a collective and as individuals, we make it a point to learn from various practical models for responding to violence, harm, and abuse based in community or collective action. We are deeply grateful for all the organizers, healers, facilitators, and community members who have come before us, creating and documenting their interventions and processes for us to learn from–ranging from the successful ones to the really disastrous ones, they each have important learnings to impart. We use these models, alongside our direct experience supporting folks, to develop our own approach to transformative justice interventions. Along the way we always seek to document and share our learnings about the ‘how’ of this work as much as we can. 

The BATJC is currently taking on interventions on a case-by-case basis.

If you are interested in learning more about the models and processes we’re learning from, take a look at these resources.

If you have experience doing interventions, especially around child sexual abuse, we would love to connect with you! We’d like to learn about your struggles and successes and to share about ours, so that we can further develop effective interventions practices and grow this work.
