A Statewide Event Series

20 Years With
No Executions

This summer, the NC Coalition for Alternatives to the Death Penalty invites you to join a statewide series of events marking 20 years since North Carolina’s last execution.

Across this series, directly impacted people, faith leaders, lawmakers, artists, attorneys, and scholars will examine how the death penalty touches every part of our society and what we’ve learned in a generation without executions. As officials push to resume state killing, we believe the people of North Carolina deserve to be part of the conversation.

These events are free and open to the public, designed for folks of all backgrounds. Whether you oppose the death penalty, are still wrestling with what you believe, or haven’t considered it much at all, we hope you will join us. If you have spent years organizing for abolition, these spaces are for you too.

“We cannot create justice without getting close to places where injustices prevail. We have to get proximate.”

BRYAN STEVENSON

📢 NEW COALITION PARTNERS 📢 Please join us in warm 📢 NEW COALITION PARTNERS 📢

Please join us in warmly welcoming NC NAACP (@ncnaacp1) and Deep Time (@deeptimeavl) to NCCADP!

During our spring coalition call, members unanimously voted both new partners into our movement. We're delighted to share that our coalition has now grown to 27 organizations.

The North Carolina State Conference of the NAACP works to “achieve equity, political rights, and social inclusion by advancing policies and practices that expand human and civil rights, eliminate discrimination, and accelerate the well-being, education, and economic security of Black people and all persons of color.” Their longstanding leadership in civil rights advocacy strengthens our shared work to challenge systems of injustice and build a more equitable future.

Deep Time is an Asheville-based coffee roaster and community space “celebrating, employing, and creating spiritual community with people impacted by incarceration.” Their work reflects the transformative possibilities of community-rooted reentry support.

Give these amazing organizations a follow if you haven't already!
