When Boundaries Get Crossed: A Transformative Justice Approach to Consent Violations

Session materials from “When Boundaries Get Crossed: A Transformative Justice Approach to Consent Violations” presented by Fuzzy Shostak and Emma Daley at NASCO Institute 2024. Most co-ops strive to be places of care, community, and consensus, but even in co-ops, boundary crossings happen. How do we handle them in a way that prioritizes safety while treating everyone with fairness and respect? How can we create cultures where consent is so normal that major incidents are rare? We want to hear what happens in your co-ops, cross-pollinate ideas, and share our experience running non-punitive Consent Teams that provide communities with education, emotional support, and mediation. We've had incredible success addressing small incidents BEFORE they become big ones, and you can too!
