About Us

Journey of Hope - From Violence to Healing provides public education about the needs of crime victims, and specifically the needs of family members of murder victims.

By centering the voices of those who have lost loved ones to murder, Journey of Hope provides a unique perspective and much-needed voice in the effort to abolish the death penalty and replace it with effective, constructive solutions.

Speakers from Journey of Hope have addressed schools, churches and other faith communities, legislative hearings and the general public in nearly every state and in countries around the world.

Because the death penalty itself creates victims, Journey of Hope speakers also include those who have a family member who is under sentence of death or who has been killed by the state, as well as those who have been exonerated and released from death row.
