There is a very real opportunity to convince President Biden to commute the sentences of everyone on the federal death row before he leaves office, but we need to act fast.

Can you please add your name to our joint petition urging President Biden to act?

During the last seven months of the previous Trump administration, President Trump executed 13 men and women who were on the federal death row. Many of those executed had intellectual disabilities, serious mental illnesses, and histories of deep trauma, and their legal proceedings were tainted by racial bias, junk science, and other flaws. These deaths also occurred despite calls for mercy from victims’ families and demands for fairness from a broad coalition of Americans across political and faith backgrounds.

Will you please help us urge President Biden to save the lives of the 40 individuals currently on the federal death row by converting their sentences to prison terms?

The federal death penalty is a deeply flawed system, particularly for Black, Brown, and economically disadvantaged people, who are the most vulnerable to wrongful convictions and death sentences. It does not deter crime or enhance public safety. Continuing the federal death penalty increases the risk of killing innocent people and deepening systemic inequalities.

We believe that if we stand together, we can convince President Biden to use his authority to protect and save the lives of the individuals on death row. Will you join us?

Thank you!
