Thank Biden for Historic Death Penalty Commutations

We extend our deepest gratitude to President Joe Biden for his historic decision to commute the death sentences of 37 individuals on federal death row. This compassionate and courageous act marks a critical step toward addressing the grave injustices associated with the death penalty in the United States.

Over the past three decades, troubling errors, racial bias, and the exoneration of over 200 innocent people have highlighted the profound flaws in the capital punishment system. For every eight people executed, one has been proven innocent—a shocking rate of error that underscores the need for change.

President Biden’s decision reflects a commitment to fairness, justice, and humanity. It comes at a time when public support for the death penalty is declining, with many Americans recognizing the system's inherent biases and failures.

This action is a powerful message that we do not need to kill to demonstrate that killing is wrong. We thank President Biden for his leadership and for setting a moral precedent that prioritizes justice, human dignity, and the values of a compassionate society.
