Florida is the most active death-penalty state in the nation. We’re working to change that — through advocacy, education, and direct action.
The death penalty is irreversible, arbitrarily applied, and disproportionately impacts communities of color and those living in poverty. It does not deter crime — and it costs Florida taxpayers millions more than life imprisonment.
FADP advocates for a just criminal legal system through legislative reform, public education, community organizing, and direct support for those on death row and their families.
