People Most Proximate

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.”

LGBTQIA+ people, especially Black and Brown trans LGBTQIA+ people, especially Black and Brown trans people, have long been targeted by systems of state violence. From Stonewall to Raleigh, the fight for freedom begins and ends with abolition. 

As we celebrate Pride, we remember: the struggle for queer liberation is deeply connected to the fight to end the death penalty.

Yesterday we had the chance to attend HomeComing: Yesterday we had the chance to attend HomeComing: Voices of Rural Reentry, an honest and moving performance by our partners @hiddenvoicesus and @jubileehomenc. 

It centers the stories of people returning from incarceration and the challenges they face – like housing insecurity, job barriers, and systems that punish instead of support.

As the show tours the state, we hope you'll take the opportunity to see it. The conversation that follows is just as powerful. 

Grateful to be in this work with these partners.
