MVFR, founded in 1976, grew from the recognition that while all crime survivors without reservation support public safety, many see practical and productive alternatives to capital punishment and incarceration as the primary tools of our criminal justice system.
MVFR is comprised entirely of volunteer citizens who have lost family members to violent crime or state execution. Committed to active civic engagement, these volunteers join with MVFR friends and partners to educate the public about and advocate against capital punishment.
MVFR''s goal is that its members contribute a leading voice in removing capital punishment from the annals of American justice.
Murder Victims Families for Reconciliation has not yet started any petitions.
