Summary
This document is a printout of a blog post (likely by Clarisse Thorn, dated around Jan 30, 2012) titled 'Social Responsibility Within Activism.' It discusses 'transformative justice' as an alternative to the prison system and includes personal anecdotes about navigating relationships with people who have caused harm. Specifically, the author details a Thanksgiving dinner with a closeted lesbian friend and her homophobic mother, and reflects on receiving an email about a respected friend being accused of sexual assault, drawing parallels to a past high school incident involving rape. The document is part of a House Oversight production (018569).
