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.”

Texas has executed James Broadnax for crimes someo Texas has executed James Broadnax for crimes someone else publicly and repeatedly confessed to. Our hearts are with James' loved ones, legal team, and all those who carry the weight of this grief. 

James was the 10th person executed in the US and the 3rd person killed by Texas in 2026. 

We must end this brutal and racist system of state killing.
