SIGN NOW: Commute all death sentences

The death penalty is a relic of a time when laws were about punishment, not justice.

Tell President Biden: "Commute all death sentences for Americans currently on death row, halt Federal executions, and fight to abolish the Federal death penalty once and for all." ADD YOUR NAME Pamela, One of Donald Trump's final acts as President was to rush 10 death row prisoners to their executions. There had only been 3 federal executions since JFK's presidency―but Donald Trump executed 13! President Biden has the power to commute the sentences of the 50 people who remain on Death Row, and instruct Attorney General Merrick Garland not to seek the death penalty in future cases. Sign now to end this cruel practice! The death penalty is a relic of a time when laws were about punishment, not justice. It doesn't make us safer, but it does send a message to the rest of the world that America remains a barbarous place. President Biden promised on his campaign that he would end the death penalty, but his Press Secretary has provided no specifics or timetable. Reps. Ayanna Pressley, Cori Bush, Rashida Tlaib, Pramila Jayapal, Ro Khanna, Mondaire Jones, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Jamaal Bowman have sent a letter to President Biden urging him to act to commute all death setences for Americans currently on death row, halt Federal executions, and fight to abolish the Federal death penalty once and for all.
