Laura Porter, Executive Director
Henderson Hill, who was also CDPL’s founding director, serves on the Advisory Committee of the U.S. Campaign to End the Death Penalty.
Since 2018, the U.S. Campaign to End the Death Penalty (formerly known as the 8th Amendment Project) has been a fiscally sponsored project of the Center for Death Penalty Litigation. First founded in 2014, The U.S. Campaign unites and leads the national movement to end the death penalty. In 2025, the U.S. Campaign shifted its strategy to serve as a public-facing spokes-organization for the national movement.
The U.S. Campaign unites more than 60 national, state, and local partner organizations around a shared strategy to achieve repeal and discourage use of the death penalty. They guide funders who want to strategically invest in ending the death penalty, and work to raise the profile of the movement in the press and in the public.
The U.S. Campaign to End the Death Penalty is led by Executive Director Laura Porter. To learn more, please visit their site at enddeathpenalty.org.
