Back in 2004, when we first came up with the idea for creating a training ground for students interested in human rights and working to stop executions, we did not think that the program would become as successful as it has. Last year, it was covered on the front page of The Huntsville Item and on mtvU and this year MTV covered it on Total Request Live and The Amazing Break.
Most importantly, after four years there is now a growing group of alumni of the program who continue to be impacted by their experiences at the alternative spring break and who are beginning to impact the world themselves.
Thank you to all the young people who have given up their spring breaks to help us stop executions in Texas.
