Uniting the nationwide movement to end the death penalty in the United States

The 8th Amendment Project was founded in 2014 to unite and lead the national movement to end the death penalty. The campaign brings together dozens of national, state, and local partners around a shared strategy to achieve repeal and discourage use of the death penalty by working to change the public discourse about capital punishment in the United States.

The 8th Amendment Project also guides funders who want to strategically invest in ending the death penalty.
