Shortly after President Biden was inaugurated, I signed a letter written by Representatives Ayanna Pressley and Cori Bush that calls on the President to commute the sentences of all those on death row.
The Trump administration executed 13 people in its final days, more than all other Presidents in the previous 50 years combined. The death penalty is immoral, ineffective, costly, and racist. We must end it once and for all.
I appreciate President Biden’s opposition to the death penalty, but action must be taken to commute death sentences so that a future President can’t do what Trump just did.
While Congress works on officially abolishing the death penalty, can you join me in calling on President Biden to commute all death sentences? Every signature will be sent to President Biden’s team, so your signing on will make a big difference.
Though the Obama administration halted all federal executions, it only commuted two death sentences. So, Trump and former Attorney General Bill Barr were able to restart executions. It’s just one of the many inhumane, morally repugnant actions of the Trump administration. We need to make sure it can’t happen again.
We must end the carnage and inhumanity of the Trump administration in every way we can. This is one way President Biden can immediately do just that while preventing it from ever happening again.
You and I both know that there is so much we have to do. I am committed to working hard for each policy that will make America and the world a more just and equitable place.
In solidarity,
Pramila
