North Carolina Coalition for Alternatives to the Death Penalty Essentials

Today is Wrongful Conviction Day. Twelve people have been wrongfull sentenced to death in North Carolina, eleven of them men of color. Today we especially give thanks for these three men, Alfred Rivera, Henry McCollum, and (Glen) Edward Chapman, who continue to show up as living examples of what it means to be wrongfully sentenced to death in our state. Combined, they spent 46 years on death row.

What does it mean to build a North Carolina free from state killing? For us, it means grounding our work in racial and restorative justice, uplifting the voices of people most impacted, and organizing across the state for real safety. Swipe through to learn who we are and how this movement helped secure 15 commutations last year. #NoMoreDeathRow #EndTheDeathPenalty
