BRUDERHOF COMMUNITY WITH ABOLITION MOVIN'
Rejecting a Policy of Vengeance in
the Name of the Victims
A core argument by proponents of the death penalty is that it provides "justice" and "closure" to family members and friends of the murder victims and is necessary to assuage their grief. This proposition has a powerful emotional appeal. The American public has a natural well of sympathy for family members and friends of the victims. Some work to exploit this sympathy.
The Journey Tours provide voices of murder victims family members who reject this policy of vengeance and are working to bring about an end to the death penalty. Spreading the message of forgiveness and love to hundreds of thousands of people in the United States and throughout the world, the Journey has three types of tours that can come to your area:
