With a small team, the organization operates within the policy and advocacy space, engaging communities and stakeholders to reduce violence and pursue more humane, just alternatives to capital punishment. Its mission and vision reflect a commitment to rational, evidence-based criminal justice reforms and to diminishing the divisive effects of the death penalty on society.
