National Organizations: Moratorium Now
Moratorium Now is a network of human rights groups that come together to build strategy for a moratorium on the death penalty. This brings together representatives from the ACLU, the Death Penalty Information Center, Human Rights Watch, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Moratorium 2000, and other groups.
Moratorium Now began meeting ad hoc after the American Bar Association issued its call to halt executions in February 1997. By the summer of the same year, the group agreed to meet regularly to network and strategize.
Currently, Moratorium Now is helping to establish a community of prominent individuals who support a moratorium on executions but hold diverging views on the death penalty in principle. The purpose of this initiative is to generate media attention that broadens the public debate about the reasons for a moratorium.
Equal Justice USA/ Quixote Center serves as convener for Moratorium Now. Contact them for more information or to get involved.
