![]() The Abolitionist Action Committee (AAC) is an ad-hoc group of individuals committed to highly visible and effective public education for alternatives to the death penalty through nonviolent direct action. The primary focus on the AAC is engaging people outside the U.S. Supreme Court, most notably through the annual "Starvin' for Justice: Fast and Vigil to Abolish the Death Penalty" each summer, and an every-five-year action of non-violent civil disobedience in January to mark the anniversary of the first U.S. execution in the modern era of the death penalty, January 17, 1977.
