Mission:
For over thirty years, the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty (NCADP) has been proud to be a national leader in the fight to end the death penalty and has worked to fulfill our mission: To abolish the death penalty in the United States and support efforts to abolish the death penalty worldwide.

Direct beneficiaries per year: abolish the death penalty in Maryland and worked to show progress toward repealing the death penalty in a number of other states.

Geographic areas served: United States

Programs: the 90 Million Strong Campaign, a multimedia grassroots mobilization effort to find and mobilize the 90 million Americans who think the death penalty is wrong or unfair. The goals of the 90 Million Strong Campaign are:
•To end the death penalty in the United States by increasing the visibility of the large number and diversity of people who oppose the death penalty. To do this we must:
•Build a base of constituent support in states advancing repeal legislation and high death-sentencing states where the goal is reducing the use of the death penalty; and
•Change the frame in the media and public discourse to focus on increasing the number, breadth and diversity of opponents of the death penalty.
