You're invited! We hope you'll join us on June 23

You're invited! We hope you'll join us on June 23 for a webinar featuring some of the top experts who have helped shape North Carolina's death penalty landscape over the past 2 decades.

For nearly 20 years, North Carolina has paused executions while courts, impacted families, and communities across the state have continued grappling with the realities of the death penalty system. What have these two decades revealed?

Featured speakers:
• Henderson Hill, Co-Director of RedressNC, civil rights and capital defense attorney
• Rep. Vernetta Alston, North Carolina Representative and former capital defense attorney
• Alfred Rivera, North Carolina death row exoneree and activist
• Dr. Seth Kotch, Associate Professor of American Studies at UNC-Chapel Hill, author of Lethal State: A History of the Death Penalty in North Carolina

Moderated by NCCADP Executive Director Noel Nickle.

📆 Tuesday, June 23, 12–1:15 PM
📍 Zoom

We're delighted to share that Melissa Boughton (@melbough) has stepped into a new role as Board Co-Chair of NCCADP, serving alongside Erica Washington (@erica_webber_).

Melissa brings a wealth of experience in communications and advocacy to this role. She currently serves as Communications Director at Southern Coalition for Social Justice and previously led communications at the Wilson Center for Science and Justice at Duke Law School. Before that, she spent more than a decade as a journalist covering courts, criminal legal issues, and some of the most consequential justice stories of our time.

Melissa has long been a valued leader within NCCADP. We're excited for this next chapter of her leadership and grateful for all she contributes to our movement.

We're equally thankful for Erica Washington's longstanding service as board Co-Chair!

As we welcome Melissa into this role, we also extend our deepest thanks to Jennifer Marsh for her years of service as Board Co-Chair. Jennifer's leadership has helped strengthen NCCADP and our movement in countless ways. We are grateful that she will continue serving on the board as Secretary through the end of the year.

Please join us in congratulating Melissa and thanking Jennifer for her leadership!

📢 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!
