Please Pardon Donziger
To: Pres. Biden
From: A constituent in Tampa, FL
December 12, 2024
I am writing to respectfully urge you to consider granting a pardon to Steven Donziger, a lawyer and human rights advocate who has been unjustly imprisoned after working on behalf of indigenous communities in Ecuador. His legal battle against Chevron exposed environmental damage and human rights abuses, yet he has faced relentless prosecution and punishment.
Donziger's case has raised concerns about the fairness of the legal process and the use of prosecutorial discretion. His continued imprisonment represents a significant miscarriage of justice. A pardon would not only rectify this wrong but also send a strong message in support of human rights and environmental justice.
I kindly ask you to use your presidential authority to right this injustice and grant Steven Donziger the pardon he so rightly deserves.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
