JUAN MELENDEZ - Voices United for Justice
We are an innovative project that provides educational services throughout the country directly addressing the controversial and divisive issue of the death penalty. Our mission is to abolish the death penalty in the United States and to plant seeds for its abolition throughout the entire world. Through comprehensive and compelling grassroots education, primarily from the uniquely powerful perspective of a remarkably resilient man, Juan Melendez, we seek to inspire people to activism. Juan,who languished on Florida ’s death row for almost eighteen years as an innocent man, is a “living testament to the injustice of capital punishment.” He is bilingual and media interest in his story, both English and Spanish-language, is always intense. The director of our Project, Judi Caruso, originally from Belfast, Northern Ireland, is an attorney and human rights activist.
