You’ll likely send and receive many holiday cards this year. But there’s
one you can send that can help people like Kendrick Fulton and his mother
(pictured above) stay together, and keep the thousands of others finishing
their prison sentences on home confinement safe and out of cages.

[ [link removed] ]With one click, you can fax the White House multiple holiday cards
featuring portraits and stories of people who will be sent back to prison
whenever the pandemic subsides unless Biden takes action and grants them
clemency today. 

Join us in sending holiday cards that really matter this year!

At the height of the pandemic, thousands of people - many of whom are
elderly or immunocompromised - were released from federal prison to finish
their sentences on home confinement in order to curb the spread of
COVID-19, which we know runs rampant in prisons and jails that lack
adequate health and safety services. 

And just like you, John, people on home confinement are now
preparing for the holiday season - looking forward to sharing the warmth
of their chosen families and breaking bread together. 

Kendrick will be celebrating his first Christmas with his mother in almost
2 decades. 

Tiara Felix will be helping care for her maternal grandmother.

Lawrence McCarroll will be supporting his mother through chemotherapy, so
they can spend the holidays with his son and extended family. 

And Adrienne Moody will be holding her first granddaughter tight as we
ring in the New Year.

These are just some of the stories featured in holiday cards that will be
sent to Biden [ [link removed] ]when you take action.

And, John, while everyone we’ve spoken with on home confinement
is grateful to be home with their families, they’ve also suffered while
attempting to navigate the carceral, and at times, cruel restrictions of
home confinement and the psychological torture of not knowing if/when
they’ll be ripped from their families and sent back to prison again.

John, President Biden promised us he'd cut the prison
population in half and help put an end to racialized mass incarceration.
And yet, he is dragging his feet on granting clemency to a group of people
who have already spent the past year proving that they are stronger at
home with their families and communities, and were already heavily vetted
by the Bureau of Prisons in order to be released to home confinement in
the first place.

People released on home confinement were told they would not have to
return to prison. But because of a Trump-era legal memo that Biden decided
to uphold, their only recourse for freedom now is for the Administration
to grant them clemency - a tool well within Biden’s power. 

John, too often the actual people affected by criminal justice
issues get lost in the political battlefield. 

This holiday season, [ [link removed] ]let’s recenter the focus for clemency onto the
people most impacted.
