Commute federal death sentences

As President Biden prepares to leave office, please urge him to commute all current federal death sentences to terms of imprisonment. Take action here to spare the lives of the 40 men currently on federal death row.

Pre-written messages are ready for you to add to or send. It just takes a moment! 

The Catholic bishops of the U.S. have long called for an end to the use of the death penalty and have taken frequent and consistent actions to call for its abolition. Click here to learn specifically about previous USCCB advocacy to the Biden Administration and Congress to end executions. Click here to read what the Catechism states regarding the death penalty.
