Commute All Federal Death Sentences

To: Pres. Biden

From: A constituent in Newton, MA

November 24

During your 2020 campaign, you pledged to eliminate the death penalty at the federal level, recognizing its disparate impact on people of color and those suffering from mental illness along with the alarming number of those sentenced to die who were ultimately exonerated. While this work remains incomplete, there is still an opportunity in these final weeks of your presidency to live up to the spirit of this promise. 40 people currently remain on federal death row, awaiting the arrival of a president who aggressively used capital punishment in his first term and is set to do so again. Please honor your commitment to justice and to your supporters and issue a blanket clemency commuting all their sentences to life imprisonment without parole before you leave office.
