Murder Victims' Families for Human Rights

The organization advocates against the death penalty and supports victims' families through speaking, organizing, and human rights work. Its members include family members of people who were murdered, executed, assassinated outside the law, or disappeared, and its membership is open to relatives who oppose the death penalty in all cases. The group was launched in 2004 by family members with speaking and organizing experience in the United States and internationally. It shares victims' stories and information about its work, and invites people to get involved in efforts to support victims and end capital punishment. Friends include abolitionists, attorneys, clergy, victims' advocates, and human rights workers. The organization is based in Boston.
