On behalf of the NCADP Board of Directors, I am very pleased to issue this Call to Conference for NCADP 2006. NCADP 2006: Abolition Rising. The death penalty abolition movement continues to gain momentum, and in the past few years, is achieving major wins in state capitals and in the courts. By continuing to use our resources wisely, to work together, and to encourage an increasingly sympathetic American public to the movement, we will abolish the death penalty in the United States.

Our conference will provide a wonderful opportunity to meet, to discuss, to plan, to learn, and to network with others to help make the movement more effective. I am excited about the high level of interaction that we are planning for this conference on issues of lobbying and legislative strategy, of how to build an effective infrastructure to sustain a long-term grassroots campaign, effective ways of using research in lobbying efforts and ways to form partnerships and communicate effectively both internally and externally,

This year, NCADP’s 30th Anniversary Celebration, is also a unique opportunity to recognize some unique individuals who have made special contribution to our struggle. This incredible group of people who will be with us at this year’s awards dinner are listed on the website. You will have an opportunity to hear from them at the dinner and be inspired by their achievements and continued commitment to saving lives and abolishing the death penalty.

I look forward to seeing you in Fairfax, Virginia on October 27-29, 2006.

Diann Rust-Tierney
Executive-Director
National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty.

Fundraising Ideas

NCADP wants to see young activists well-represented at NCADP 2006: Abolition Rising. But we realize that attending conferences costs money. And although NCADP each year raises money to offer scholarships, this pot of resources is simply not nearly large enough to meet the need that is out there.

Accordingly, NCADP has prepared a document entitled Fundraising For NCADP 2006. It’s a how-to guide that lays out how young people can raise funds to attend this year’s conference. Although it is aimed at young people, some of the ideas you’ll find in this guide can be applied to the larger community as well.
