John,
President Biden’s time in office is running out. [ [link removed] ]Can you take 1 minute
to send him a message to grant clemency and bring home individuals who
have been over-incarcerated due to racist and unjust crack cocaine
sentencing laws?
Add your name
For decades, Black communities have borne the brunt of the War on Drugs.
Thousands of people are currently behind bars because of the unjust and
unsound crack-cocaine sentencing disparity. This disparity set the
sentencing for crack cocaine originally at 100 and now 18 times longer
than powder cocaine — even though the drugs are scientifically identical.
[ [link removed] ]Urge President Biden to grant clemency for Americans convicted of
federal crack cocaine offenses before Donald Trump takes office.
In 2022, US Attorney General Merrick Garland gave new instructions to
federal prosecutors to stop treating crack and powder cocaine differently
in criminal sentencing. This landmark move halted the racist disparity
created by the War on Drugs that disproportionately impacted Black and
Brown communities. However, this only applies to sentences moving forward,
which means thousands of people are still behind bars, punished by
outdated laws.
President Biden has the opportunity to use his constitutional clemency
power on individuals impacted by these racist sentencing disparities. For
4 years, members like you have stepped up, sent thousands of messages,
made hundreds of calls, and written letters to local newspapers urging
Congress to end this racist practice and pass the EQUAL Act that would end
this injustice. While the EQUAL Act hasn’t passed our fight isn’t over, we
need you to send President Biden one final message before he leaves
office.
[ [link removed] ]Take Action — Before it's too late!
Momentum is on our side, in just the last month President Biden has
granted clemency to nearly 1,500 Americans who were placed on CARES Act
home confinement and commuted 37 federal death sentences to life
imprisonment with the possibility of parole. While we applaud these
actions, no one was freed from a prison cell. But right now, we have an
opportunity to bring home hundreds of people who have already served more
time than they should have - and reunite them with their families!
President Biden has less than a week left in office, please take 1 minute
to add your name and bring thousands home from prison.
In solidarity,
— Kandia Milton, Government Affairs Director
