We cannot create justice without getting close to places where injustices prevail. We have to get proximate.”
Bryan Stevenson
We have much to learn from the voices of those directly affected by the death penalty: People who’ve lost loved ones to murder, people on and exonerated from death row and their families, and people who’ve suffered the grief of execution. Their leadership is key to ending the death penalty. Here, you can read the stories, listen to the music, and view the art they’ve created as they journey to find healing after losing a loved one, or go on living under a sentence of death, and, perhaps, discover a more expansive meaning for the word “justice.”
