Bearing Witness: Interfaith Service and Vigil
For twenty years, North Carolina has gone without an execution. On the anniversary of the state's last execution, the NC Coalition for Alternatives to the Death Penalty invites you to join an interfaith service and candlelight vigil. We will bear witness to the lives taken, to those still living under a sentence of death, and to a future in which our state is free from capital punishment.
Rooted in the belief that every person has inherent dignity and worth, this gathering welcomes people of all faiths and no faith tradition. We hope you’ll join us.
Event highlights:
- Music and interfaith prayer and ritual
- One-mile candlelight procession to Central Prison
- Vigil for those executed by the state and those on death row today
