Welcome to the NAARPR Chicago Branch

The campaign to end the mass execution of those on death rows in the U.S. is one of the focal points of the work of the NAARPR.  Fifty-nine people were executed by State Governments in 2004. There are over 3,400 people on death rows in the U.S., all of them poor and most of them African American or Latino. There are more people on death rows in the U.S. than in any other country of the world.  Most countries have abolished the Death Penalty in law or practice.

All Politics are Global? The Alliance in the Fightback Against Racist and Political Repression

It is a real pleasure to be present in the city of Harold Washington and Rudy Lozano and Gwendolyn Brooks, a city that inevitably sets the pace that the nation eventually follows. This is certainly the case for the Alliance, which walks in the mighty footsteps of the Civil Rights Congress and the International Labor Defense, organizations which in the first six decades of the 20th century were in the vanguard of the movement to tear down the walls of Jim Crow through their vigorous defense of the Scottsboro 9 and Willie McGee and Rosa Lee Ingram and Claudia Jones.
