More than 200 people gathered in Raleigh for the Beyond Executions event this year with the North Carolina Coalition for Alternatives to the Death Penalty to commemorate the lives of 43 people executed in NC.
The North Carolina Coalition for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (NCCADP) is a statewide coalition of member organizations and individuals committed to ending the death penalty and creating a new vision of justice. They are dedicated to broad criminal legal reform rooted in restorative justice. They work with and educate lawmakers, communities, and the public about the racist, unjust and ineffectual death penalty system.
