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.”

Service members are at high risk of PTSD, traumatic brain injury, and other forms of trauma, which, if left untreated, can lead to violence in moments of crisis.

Honoring veterans means making sure they have access to mental and physical healthcare, return support, and the resources they need when they come home.
