David Ryan Barcega Castro-Harris

I’m David Ryan Barcega Castro-Harris (all five names for all the ancestors).

You probably landed here from my free content on YouTube, Substack, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, etc.

Whatever the case, welcome to the hub of my personal work:

reflections, stories, and practices that are shaped by, but don’t always fit neatly into a "Restorative Justice" framework.

(If you’re looking for practical, tactical Restorative Justice education, trainings, resources, and support for implementing RJ in schools, organizations, or communities, visit AmplifyRJ.com.)

The reality of doing this work in today’s political climate, and still wanting to have enough energy to show up in a good way is that I can’t do it alone.

This work needs community to sustain it. If what I share has value for you, I invite you to join my support community through the membership tiers below.

Your support here makes it possible for me to keep showing up sustainably with honesty, depth, and care.

You'll get access to my not so public thoughts and reflections, new projects, and connection with a community of humans practicing RJ as a way of living.

If you identify as a community member, parent, partner, worker or really any humans reckoning with how to embody care, accountability, and repair in everyday life, this is the space for you.
