Death Penalty Organizations
Canadian Coalition Against the
Death Penalty - The CCADP is a not for profit international organization based in
Canada. Provide assistance and support to death row inmates, their families, and the
families of victims. Currently the CCADP is engaged in providing pen-pal requests
for inmates, as well as being involved with starting the 'Justice for Jimmy' campaign and
initiating the international tourist boycott of Texas for their human rights abuses.
Catholics Against Capital Punishment - As the name
implies, this is a national advocacy organization working for the abolition of the death
penalty in the U.S.
Citizens United for Alternatives to the Death Penalty -
This organization works to end the death penalty in the United States through aggressive
campaigns of public education and the promotion of tactical grassroots activism.
Death Penalty Focus of California - "We
believe that the death penalty is an ineffective and brutally simplistic response to the
serious and complex problem of violent crime. Membership is open to all concerned
individuals."
Equal Justice USA - Through education
and mobilization, the project seeks to expand public opposition to the death penalty, as
well as bring into clear focus the racial, economic and political biases active in U.S.
courts, prisons, jails and policing agencies.
The Justice Project - Every day we learn more
about innocent men and women spending years on death row for crimes they did not commit.
The criminal justice system in which weve placed our faith is broken.
Murder Victims' Families for
Reconciliation - "Evidence shows that it does not deter killing. It is much more
expensive than alternative sentences, draining money from education, health care,
prevention of domestic abuse, child abuse and substance abuse, and other needed programs.
The risk of executing the innocent is ever present."
National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty -
NCADP advocates for public policy and mobilizes and supports people and institutions that
share our unconditional rejection of the state's use of homocide as an instrument of
social policy.
