National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty
 United States  / District of Columbia  |  Human Rights

Abolish the death penalty in the U.S. and support efforts to abolish the death penalty world wide.

The National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty (NCADP) was founded in 1976 in response to the Supreme Court decision in Gregg v. Georgia which permitted executions to resume in the United States. We believe that the struggle against the death penalty will be won state by state when good people of all walks of life demand change. As the public comes to understand that the death penalty operates unfairly, harms the very people it purports to help and drains precious resources from solutions that prevent crime, hold people accountable and keep our communities safe, more will demand that policy makers support measures to narrow the scope and reach of the practice and ultimately repeal death penalty statutes.
