[ [link removed] ]Ayanna Pressley for Congress
Last night, President Biden used his pardon
authority in response to what he saw as an injustice of the legal system.
It’s something that myself and advocates across the country have been
calling on him to do, but for the thousands of people who pose no threat
to society and whose lives are deteriorating due to America’s mass
incarceration crisis and unjust criminal legal system. I’m thinking of all
of them today.
So with the 49 days remaining in his presidency, I’m urging him to use his
clemency power to help more families across this nation — families who are
disproportionately Black and brown — suffering from injustices of the
legal system. I’m fighting for him to pardon those in federal custody with
unjustified sentencing disparities, the elderly and chronically ill,
people on death row, women punished for crimes of their abusers, and many,
many more.
As the daughter of a formerly incarcerated parent who has gone on to make
great contributions to society, I know firsthand how life-changing the
President’s action would be and how much hope it would give to millions.
He knows this too.
He has an opportunity right now to cement his legacy as one of the most
compassionate and impactful Presidents of our time before the incoming
Administration doubles down on hurt and harm. For the families harmed by
mass incarceration, he must act — now.
I’m going to continue pulling every lever and using every tool I have to
advocate for this. [ [link removed] ]If you’re able to, please make a contribution to our
campaign so we can continue to fight to right the wrongs of our unjust
criminal legal system.
