Australians Against Capital Punishment is a community group formed in early 2007 to advocate for a total abolition of the death penalty across the globe, and to call on our government to once again commit itself to opposing the death penalty in all cases, in all countries wholeheartedly.
We try to raise awareness of the issue through public forums, petitions, letterwriting, leafleting as well as through the media.
We welcome anyone aboard who shares our goals.
