The New Hampshire Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty is made up of a numerous organizations and individuals who are committed to ending the death penalty in the state of New Hampshire.
Through outreach, education and advocacy, we can make a difference! We regularly bring experts on various death penalty issues to NH to share their experience with the public and the legislature. We meet with legislators, attend hearings, and support the work of ending the death penalty.
Our volunteer base is growing as concerned citizens are making their voices known. You too can make a difference.
