About Me
- The Campaign to End the Death Penalty
- The Campaign to End the Death Penalty (CEDP) is the only national membership-driven, chapter-based grassroots organization dedicated to the abolition of capital punishment in the United States. We have active chapters in cities and campuses across the country -- from Berkeley, California, to Austin, Texas to Chicago, Illinois. We work hand in hand with those who have experienced the horrors of death row firsthand--death row prisoners themselves their family members--and work to ensure that their voices are at the forefront of our movement. nodeathpenalty.org
