Many abolitionist orgs promote transformative justice practices as one alternative to the criminal legal system.

Transformative Justice, according to Philly Stands Up, has no single definition. It is:

"a way of practicing alternative justice which acknowledges individual experiences and identities and works to actively resist the state's criminal injustice system."

Transformative Justice Goals

Safety, healing, and agency for survivors

Accountability and transformation for people who have harmed

Community action, healing, and accountability

Transformation of the social conditions that perpetuate violence
