North Carolina Coalition for Alternatives to the Death Penalty: Committed to ending the death penalty and creating a new vision of justice.

On Independence Day, we honor those who served. But in the past few weeks alone, two veterans, men who risked their lives for this country and came home with PTSD and brain injuries, were executed by the state. This is a national disgrace.

North Carolina just launched its second Mobile Recidivism Reduction Center, bringing reentry support directly to people returning home from prison. Housing help, job placement, mental healthcare: this is how community change happens.

On this day in 1976, the Supreme Court gave the death penalty a green light. Nearly 50 years later, it's clear that the death penalty is still racist, arbitrary, and unjust. #GreggvGeorgia #EndTheDeathPenalty

The state's machinery of death routinely targets people with intellectual disabilities and serious mental illness. Learn more on our website.

Happy #DisabilityPrideMonth. Disability justice and death penalty abolition are inseparable. All systems of oppression are connected.

Ruben Wright has spent 18 years in prison for a crime he says he didn't commit. There's no physical evidence, no confession. Now, one of the prosecutors' main theories has collapsed. Great reporting by @mlhewlett.

On June 25, Mississippi took the life of #RichardGeraldJordan, a veteran of the Vietnam War who suffered from PTSD. He spent 49 years on death row. We remember Richard's life, and our hearts go out to all who were impacted by this state-sanctioned execution.

What does Juneteenth have to do with a prison farm in eastern NC? Or with the fact that over 1/2 of the people on death row in our state are Black? . Honoring the season of Juneteenth, we're tracing the line between freedom delayed and justice denied.

On June 24, Florida executed #ThomasLeeGudinas, the seventh execution carried out by the state in 2025 alone. We remember Tommy's life, mourn his loss, and reject the cruelty of state-sanctioned death. Every execution is a failure of justice and humanity.

Two lives are on the line this week. June 24: #ThomasLeeGudinas in Florida.June 25: #RichardGeraldJordan in Mississippi. These executions will only bring more pain. We call on @GovRonDeSantis and @tatereeves to choose mercy.

Florida is on a killing spree. #TommyGudinas, a man with severe mental illness and profound childhood trauma, is set to be executed on June 24. And this week, DeSantis signed yet another death warrant. This has to stop. Please sign the petition.
Florida is executing people faster than ever before. If Tommy is executed, it’ll be DeSantis’s 7th this year—surpassing his 2023 record. If Michael follows, it’ll be the 8th—a number reached only twice in FL history. We need your voice. Take action now

"The only certainty I had. was the simple sense that it's generally wrong to kill people, even bad people." . Journalist Elizabeth Bruenig witnessed an execution. What she saw raised urgent questions about justice, mercy, and the death penalty.

When a person's identity is misrepresented in court or ignored in prison, the system fails. LGBTQ+ people, especially trans people, face serious risks in death penalty cases. Read more in our latest blog post. #EndTheDeathPenalty.

South Carolina executed #StephenStanko last night. We mourn the loss of life. Our hearts are with everyone impacted. The death penalty only compounds harms and can never bring true justice.
