ABSTRACT

Members of Witness to Innocence bring a human face to the death penalty that no one else can. Through their compelling stories, they illuminate the unfairness and immorality of capital punishment—and in turn move citizens and public opinion more than any ordinary politician or activist can ever hope to do. Since 2005, Witness to Innocence has played an essential role in the anti-death penalty movement in the United States while educating hundreds of thousands of people across the country.
