Urge Pres. Biden to Commute the Federal Death Row

President Biden says he supports eliminating the federal death penalty but hasn't taken any action yet. So we’re asking you to join us in urging him to commute the sentences of the 46 men currently on federal death row and eliminate the possibility that we will witness again the killing spree that the Trump Administration committed in the last half of 2020.

The federal death penalty system is deeply flawed. It reflects the misguided “tough on crime” policies of the 1990s and early 2000s and shows the same racial bias that we see in state death penalty systems.

States like Texas, where, in 1989 Carlos DeLuna, a Latinx man, was executed for a crime he very likely didn’t commit. A new documentary about his case, The Phantom, which discovered new evidence, at least one new eyewitness, and new statements from prosecutors, all point to the fact that Texas executed an innocent man.

We urge President Biden to commute the sentences of the men on federal row and set an example for 27 states that still have a death penalty. 

Please sign our petition and send a message to President Biden to lead the way in ending the death penalty in the United States.

The time to act is now!
