Oregonians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (OADP) is a non-profit organization based in Salem, Oregon. Their mission is to advocate for the repeal of the death penalty in Oregon and promote alternative forms of punishment. OADP works to raise awareness about the flaws and injustices of the death penalty system, and they provide resources and support to individuals and organizations who share their goal of ending capital punishment in the state.
Under the leadership of Governor Kate Brown, OADP has made significant progress in their efforts to end the death penalty in Oregon. Governor Brown has commuted all death row sentences and ordered the dismantling of the state execution chamber, effectively putting an end to capital punishment in the state. OADP acknowledges the pain and grief experienced by the families of murder victims, but they believe that the death penalty is not an effective or just solution. They advocate for alternatives that focus on rehabilitation, justice, and public safety.
