One year ago today, Governor Cooper, on his final One year ago today, Governor Cooper, on his final day in office, announced commutations for 15 men on death row. This news came at the close of our multi-year Commutations Campaign – a testament to the power of this community's organizing and advocacy.

A year later, we continue to rejoice for these 15 lives spared:

Hasson Bacote
Isiah Barden
Nathan Bowie
Rayford Burke
Elrico Fowler
Cerron Hooks
Guy LeGrande
James Little
Robbie Locklear
Lawrence Peterson
William Robinson
Christopher Roseboro
Darrell Strickland
Timothy White
Vincent Wooten

Victories like these remind us what's possible when people resist and dare to imagine something better. 

Even after these commutations, North Carolina continues to have the 5th largest death row in the nation. Here at NCCADP, we will not stop working until the racist, error-prone, and inhumane death penalty is no longer a threat in North Carolina.

If you believe in a future without the death penalty, one great way to show your support is with your dollars. Consider making a tax-deductible gift to NCCADP at nccadp.org/donate or donating by mail at 3326 Durham-Chapel Hill Blvd, Building D, Suite 201, Durham, NC 27707.
As 2025 winds down, we're 60% of the way to meetin As 2025 winds down, we're 60% of the way to meeting our year-end fundraising goal! Will you help us reach 100% to power the work ahead?

2026 will be a pivotal year for justice advocacy and death penalty abolition work. With HB 307 now the law of the land, North Carolina is gearing up to restart executions after a nearly 20-year pause. Each and every day, NCCADP is on the frontlines, dispelling the myth that the death penalty makes us safer and pointing to a better, more humane path for our state – a future where harm is not compounded with more harm. 

Will you support death penalty abolition in North Carolina today? 

You can make a tax-deductible contribution online at nccadp.org/donate, or you can donate by mail.

If you have already given, thank you. You make this work possible.

Thank you for all the ways you show up to keep this movement strong!
