THE HONORABLEROBERT REYNOLDS “RENNY” CUSHINGFREDERICK DOUGLASS EQUAL JUSTICE AWARD

Renny Cushing is a multi-term member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives and the founder and Executive Director of Murder Victims’ Families for Human Rights (MVFHR). His father’s murder in 1988 has shaped his work as an advocate for crime victims and as an opponent of capital punishment.

He has testified before the U.S. Congress and several state legislatures on victims’ issues and the death penalty, articulating policies that promote violence prevention, meet the needs of crime victims, and end state killings. He has written and lectured extensively and is the co-author of Dignity Denied: The Experience of Murder Victims’ Family Members Who Oppose the Death Penalty, and I Don’t Want Another Kid to Die, a collection of homicide family members’ voices against the juvenile death penalty. He also appears, along with many other MVFHR founding members, in Not In Our Name, a collection of profiles of murder victims’ families who oppose executions.
