- Biographical / Historical:
The Kentucky Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty (KCADP) seeks to end capital punishment in Kentucky through education, outreach, coalition-building, and grassroots organizing.
The KCADP has its roots in two other organizations - the Louisville chapter of the Southern Coalition on Jails and Prisons, established in 1976 and which thrived for about a decade, and the Kentucky Civil Liberties Union which provided an organizing foundation for the KCADP beginning in 1984.
A state steering committee formed in 1986, the KCADP began to distribute newsletters in 1987, and the organization was formally incorporated in 1988.
