We will succeed in replacing capital punishment with an alternative rooted in racial equity and restorative justice, bringing true healing and accountability. But we have much work to do, and the road ahead will not be easy. Your support helps shine the light along our way.

A significant part of our work continues to be amplifying the voices of those most impacted by the death penalty and strengthening our grassroots organizing across the state. Your gift helps us do both those things, and so much more.

Thank you for being part of the movement to end the death penalty, and for making a contribution today.

Today, we honor the 1974 Raleigh march that saw th Today, we honor the 1974 Raleigh march that saw thousands stand united and unwavering against the death penalty. 

Led by the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression and speakers like Angela Davis, the crowd called out a system that was rapidly condemning people to die – disproportionately Black, poor, and silenced.

Fifty-one years later, we honor the courage of these protestors and carry their fight forward. Freedom means ending the systems that cage and kill. 

The death penalty has no place in a truly free society. Not then. Not now.

Happy July 4!

On this day in 1976, the Supreme Court gave the de On this day in 1976, the Supreme Court gave the death penalty a green light, and the modern machinery of state-sanctioned execution was born.

In Gregg v. Georgia, the Court reversed its earlier decision in Furman v. Georgia and ruled that capital punishment could be constitutional if applied "fairly."

Nearly 50 years later, we know the truth. It's still racist, arbitrary, and unjust.

Swipe through to learn how Gregg v. Georgia reshaped the death penalty and how that legacy still haunts our legal system today.
