Journey of Hope

Welcome to the Journey of Hope event!

Come join us at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church for a afternoon filled with inspiration, community, and positivity.

The death penalty does not just impact the individual sentenced to die—it devastates families, communities, and our collective humanity. At the heart of our work is the belief that justice must be rooted in healing, not in vengeance. The Journey of Hope... From Violence to Healing is a powerful voice in this movement, led by those who have suffered the unimaginable loss of a loved one to M**der, as well as those who have experienced the death penalty’s irrevocable harm.

We amplify the voices of victims' families who have chosen reconciliation over retribution, sharing their stories to challenge the narrative that the death penalty serves justice. Instead, we advocate for responses that foster healing, accountability, and the restoration of dignity.

Through education, advocacy, and public witness, we walk alongside families who have endured immense suffering—whether from violent crime or state-sanctioned execution—offering a path forward grounded in love and nonviolence. Our mission is clear: to end the cycle of violence and replace it with a justice system that honors life, respects human dignity, and acknowledges the possibility of redemption.

This is our journey—one of courage, compassion, and the unwavering belief that hope is stronger than fear.
