Philly Stands Up: Inside the Politics and Poetics of Transformative Justice and Community Accountability in Sexual Assault Situations

As an all-volunteer collective working in Philadelphia to hold perpetrators of sexual assault accountable for their behavior, Philly Stands Up! (PSU) is widely viewed as a model group, successfully enacting transformative justice principles through “interventions,” bringing perpetrators of sexual assault to a fundamentally deeper awareness of feminist politics and of the harm they have caused. This article elucidates their process for doing this work and illustrates how PSU’s success stems from a deep realization of what it means to be in community and to truly make care, liberation, and feminist praxis an everyday precept of relating to one another.
