MVFR is one of the most important organizations in America because its members have moved beyond revenge, retaliation, and are today setting the very highest standards of forgiveness, compassion and
non-violence…Having lost my father and grandmother to gun violence, I well understand the deep hurt and anger felt by the loved ones of those who have been murdered, yet I cannot accept the judgment that their killers need to be executed.
Rev. Bernice King
Daughter of Martin Luther King Jr.
When my husband was killed a piece of me died with him, but in time I discovered the only way to heal was to let go of the pain and anger. I chose to honor his memory through compassion and forgiveness, not by creating more victims.
Carol Byars
For eight years I wrestled with the death penalty issue in my life. I spent many hours and days pondering this way of life and death. I had hoped that maybe even witnessing the execution would have given me the closure that everyone speaks of. I have found that the death penalty did not solve any of that, however I also have found that it does create more victims.
Ronald W. Carlson
My mother was murdered when I was five years old. I went through many emotions and feelings, but anger was one feeling that I didn't feel for long. Through MVFR, my objective is to teach young people that forgiveness and acceptance is the key to healing. I want to help others heal so that they can live and love their lives once again.
