About I Dream a World...
I Dream a World is a project of the AFSC’s National Criminal Justice Program and Religious Organizing Against the Death Penalty Project.
AFSC's Criminal Justice Program challenges the morality and effectiveness of the "tough on crime" mentality. The program's ultimate goal is to reduce, and eventually eliminate, the tendency to throw people in jail as a "solution" to crime and violence. In collaboration with many groups across the country, we work to create a system that is based not on prisons, jails, and executions but on the needs of both victims of crime and victims of poverty and injustice.
The AFSC Religious Organizing Against the Death Penalty Project seeks to build a powerful coalition of faith-based activists. Nationally, it works with official religious bodies to develop strategies and to promote anti-death penalty activism within each faith tradition. At the grassroots level, the Project links with individuals and faith communities, establishing "covenant" relationships to foster local abolition efforts.
