About Alameda County Coalition for Alternatives to the Death Penalty

Alameda County has historically been one of the most aggressive death penalty counties in Northern California. The Alameda County Coalition for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (ACCADP) is working to end the use of the death penalty in our county. Please join our fight to replace this failed policy and help build a community that is safer for all of us.
