Abe for Ohio Journey of Hope

The Ohio Journey of Hope... From Violence to Healing will help end Ohio's death penalty by lifting up the voices of murder victim family members who know from experience that executions do nothing to stop the pain or heal the loss of a loved one to homicide. Ohio can end the death penalty, and this struggle is winnable in the near-term, but only with your support.

The Journey of Hope... From Violence to Healing is led by murder victim family members sharing their stories of healing, reconciliation, forgiveness and showing how the death penalty does not serve the needs of homicide survivors. The Ohio Journey offers voices of experience who put a real face on the death penalty because each speaker has lived some aspect of it. 

Speakers include murder victim family members, the families of the executed and those on death row, exonerated death row survivors, legal experts, and retired corrections officials who have carried out executions and who now oppose the death penalty.

Your generous donation today will make the Ohio Journey of Hope possible, and will also enable the Journey, Ohioans to Stop Executions and the Ohio Council of Churches to carry on the work of educating and mobilizing the public until the job is done.

Because of your support, Ohio could soon become the 22nd state to abandon the death penalty. Please donate today, and join us on the Journey in October.
