The Death Penalty Reform Team arises from the church’s teaching on the consistent ethic of life and the fundamental tenant of Catholic social thought:  an affirmation of essential human dignity.  Rooted in this clear and consistent teaching of the church, the Death Penalty Reform Team seeks to advocate for the abolition of the death penalty in North Carolina.  Short of this, the team also works for reform to make the carrying out of the death penalty as humane, just, and equitable as possible.

If you are interested in joining our efforts, we would be overjoyed to have you be a part of the team.  We meet regularly to discuss recent developments in legislation and strategic avenues for advocacy.  For more information, contact Sonny Cruz at 845-7227.
