ABOUT DEATH PENALTY FOCUS
DPF is based in California. We’re a national nonprofit organization founded in 1988 to abolish the death penalty through public education, grassroots and political organizing, media outreach, local, state, national and international coalition building, and the education of religious, legislative, law enforcement, and civic leaders about capital punishment and its alternatives. We also work to reduce death sentences and to encourage resentencing to other than death. For more information about DPF, please visit our website: deathpenalty.org
