On April 25, NCCADP gathered with impacted communi On April 25, NCCADP gathered with impacted community members in Winston-Salem for Returning to the Circle, a restorative gathering for collective healing. Unlike many of our public-facing programs, this day was not centered on advocacy or education for others. Instead, it was centered on the people who so often carry that work themselves.

Throughout the day, participants ate and sang together, created art, joined restorative Circles, and spent time with one another. 

This work matters because movements cannot survive on urgency alone. Restorative justice reminds us that taking care of our community is intrinsic to the work of ending the death penalty. It is how we build a different future.

Special thanks to so many people who helped to make this gathering possible – Lynda Simmons, Leah Wilson-Hartgrove, Jodi McLaren, Shannon Gigliotti, Brenda Hooks, the Hartgrove family, each and every volunteer who made the event happen, Rev. Nathan Parrish and Peace Haven Baptist Church, and of course, everyone who joined us for this special day.
You can't separate the death penalty from racism. You can't separate the death penalty from racism. Alfred Rivera, an NC death row exoneree, explains why.
