MOVING FORWARD

You've read their stories. Learned their names.

Acknowledging the humanity of death row inmates is the bare minimum.

STOP THE CRUELTY

We want a world in which no one must lose their life for justice's sake. Where death and justice are never viewed as synonyms. Where "criminal" is never the first descriptor used for a human being.
Here's how you can help us achieve that goal.

CONTACT YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS

Perhaps the best way to make change is to contact your state legislators to vote YES to abolish the death penalty. Even if you don't live in a death penalty state, contact your representatives in Congress, who have the power to abolish the death penalty federally.
