For the Love of Justice
For free!
Introduction
For the Love of Justice is dedicated to George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Sandra Bland, and to all who have been murdered, and who have suffered in a multitude of untold ways from centuries of structural and systemic racism, and the actions enacted because of this.
It is our hope that the conversations encouraged by For the Love of Justice will provide a Safe and Sacred Space for healing old and new wounds, as well as to bring us together across divides. Please feel free to "play" in multicultural groups, as well as in identified race specific groups, as this is a place for Healing, and how you Heal is up to you. Please feel free to Lead your own group, on an ongoing basis.
This is a place to listen with LOVE. With LOVE we all win. When we play For the Love of Justice, we are all undeniably EQUAL. We hope your participation will provide you with some Peace, Understanding, Love and Hope.
As these conversations have the possibility of becoming tense, we would like to offer some basic Ground Rules:
- CONFIDENTIALITY – People might share very personal things. Please all agree that whatever is said during game play, will remain confidential.
- RESPECT – When people do not feel respected, they shut down. This is the opposite of the mission of For the Love of Justice. It is important that everyone listens to one another with Respect (with a capital R).
- ACTIVE ENGAGEMENT – Please remain focused and listening and participating actively. This will help to fortify and to enhance the healing energy of the group.
- AGREE TO DISAGREE – You might vehemently disagree with what someone is sharing. This is a safe space where everyone is invited to simply speak their own truth. We never know how our words, upon reflection will help others to shift their thinking and beliefs.
- BE AWARE OF ONE ANOTHER AND TIME SPEAKING – Please make sure that you do not dominate the conversation, so that others will have time to process their own feelings and experiences, and to share and be part of the conversation.
- NO ATTACKS PERMITTED – Enough said!

When you feel you want to end game play, you may want to say a Group Prayer. You may choose your own Prayer to end with, or begin with your own first sentence, and have each person in the group add a sentence until the prayer feels complete.
