Alternative Spring Breaks are designed to give students something more meaningful to do during their week off, rather than just spending time at the beach or sitting at home catching up on school work. The specific purpose of the Anti-Death Penalty Alternative Spring Break, sponsored by the Texas Moratorium Network, was to bring students to Austin for five days of anti-death penalty activism and education. Participants attended workshops that provided new information, background, and skills that student activists can use in anti-death penalty (or other activist) efforts that they are or will be involved in.
