Terry McCaffrey is currently an Amnesty International Area Coordinator for the South Bay. He is also the Western Region Death Penalty Abolition Coordinator. He has been a member of Amnesty International since 1978 starting out in the South Bay, San Francisco, going from Group to Area Coordinator.
From 1991 to 1995 he was an Area Coordinator in Northern Virginia. When in Virginia he became active on death penalty work. He campaigned on behalf of Earl Washington who was eventually exonerated and released.
He returned to the South Bay in 1995 and became the Western Region Death Penalty Abolition Coordinator. Among his duties he was very active in the successful campaign to repeal the death penalty in New Mexico. Another major focus was support of a ballot initiative in California to replace the death penalty with life imprisonment without the possibility of parole which failed by a narrow margin.

He is married with two children living in Palo Alto, CA.
