We aim to end the death penalty in the US and worldwide through our work on individual cases and our wider projects. We are currently assisting more than 40 people facing the death penalty in 11 countries.
The fact that it is now possible that nobody else will ever be executed in Nebraska is a huge victory. Together we can do more to put an end to executions.
