The Oregon Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty recognizes the abolition of the death penalty in Oregon as a long term challenge that will require education, discussion and debate in the community. Until this goal is attained, OCADP participates actively in educating the community, monitoring death penalty cases, advocating for humane and constitutional death row conditions of confinement, supporting the needs and concerns of the families of victims as well as the families of persons on death row and bearing witness in opposition to executions in Oregon.
