About Us
WHO WE ARE
The 90 Million Strong Campaign seeks to mobilize and engage the millions of Americans who oppose the death penalty to bring about an end to the practice once and for all. Working with national partners and with networks throughout the United States, we seek to dramatically increase the number of people speaking out against the death penalty by raising public awareness about its problems and connecting to policy makers and opinion leaders around the country.
We are workers, students, parents, millennials, families of murder victims, persons from all points on the political and religious spectrums, past and present law enforcement officials, and prominent civil and racial justice organizations, working to repeal capital punishment state by state. We are 90 Million Strong.

![The Supreme Court ruled that Oklahoma death row inmates had “failed to establish a likelihood of success on the merits of their claim that the use of midazolam violates the Eighth Amendment” as the Fast and Vigil protestors began their first day in Washington, D.C.“It’s heartbreaking. It gets to me,” Melonie Curtis said, as tears slowly fell down her face. “It’s not OK. It’s inhumane.”No one word can describe the mood in front of the Courthouse when the Associated Press breaks the news. Shock that injustice continues, sadness that people will continue to suffer and uncertainty of what the future looks like.“[The death penalty] makes more victims for everybody,” Curtis said. “I hope this angers a lot of people so they say, ‘enough is enough.’”](http://68.media.tumblr.com/8ef328e08f645763020b21e0acf1f110/tumblr_nrsl7lNca11t5jau3o1_100.jpg "The Supreme Court ruled that Oklahoma death row inmates had “failed to establish a likelihood of success on the merits of their claim that the use of midazolam violates the Eighth Amendment” as the Fast and Vigil protestors began their first day in Washington, D.C.“It’s heartbreaking.
