We seek to unite the Death Row Community to bring about change for everyone caged here. Due to the ever worsening deplorable environment of Texas Death Row we have no choice but to push forward and initiate change in the conditions.

Through DRIVE we have organized a group of passionate prisoner activists who have put aside all minor barriers of ethnicity, creed, color and beliefs, to focus on the injustices forced upon us by this system. By means of inner-resistance, organizing, outer petitions drives, protests and direct actions,

we will solidify our stance and remain relentless in the fight against oppression!

Until Humanitarian conditions are implemented and Freedom and true Justice is achieved, DRIVE will continue to be an uncompromising force in the Struggle!

The Campaign to End the Death Penalty (CEDP) is the only national membership-driven, chapter-based grassroots organization dedicated to the abolition of capital punishment in the United States. We have active chapters in cities and campuses across the country -- from Berkeley, California, to Austin, Texas to Chicago, Illinois. We work hand in hand with those who have experienced the horrors of death row firsthand--death row prisoners themselves their family members--and work to ensure that their voices are at the forefront of our movement.

In addition, DPF has an Advisory Board comprised of community and religious leaders, celebrities, writers, and representatives of labor and human rights organizations who support our work. We conduct research on behalf of lawyers, educators, and the general public, and sponsor a variety of public education and media campaigns. DPF also serves as a support network for our ten chapters throughout California and as a liaison among anti-death penalty groups nationwide.
