Our first-ever Impact Report is out now ✨ 2025 wa Our first-ever Impact Report is out now ✨

2025 was a defining year for the movement to end North Carolina’s death penalty. We started the year with the triumph of 15 lives saved at the close of our Commutations Campaign. We navigated choppy legislative waters – with big wins and big challenges along the way. Through it all, we witnessed the collective power of people, with communities mobilizing for justice across the state again and again. Have a look at our 2025 Impact Report at the link in our bio.

Thanks for making this work possible.
