President Biden: Grant Clemency Now

President Biden has days left in office to bring home Americans impacted by racist drug sentencing disparities.

Thousands of people in our federal prisons are serving disproportionately long sentences for offenses that would result in much shorter prison terms if they were sentenced under today.

The War on Drugs set the unjust sentencing for crack cocaine originally at 100 and now 18 times longer than powder cocaine — even though the drugs are scientifically identical. This makes it much easier to trigger a mandatory minimum for the sale of crack cocaine than if the same offense were committed with powder cocaine. The disparity is unjust, nonsensical, and racist, and it must end.

Urge President Biden to use his executive clemency power to allow people who have already served years–sometimes decades–in federal prison and who would receive significantly shorter prison terms if they were sentenced today an opportunity to come home and be reunited with their families.

Dear President Biden,

We urge you to use your executive power to grant clemency for people who were subject to the unjust and racist crack cocaine sentencing disparities.

There are thousands of people in our federal prisons who are serving disproportionately long sentences for offenses that would result in much shorter prison terms if they were sentenced under today’s current law and practice.

Granting clemency not only reunites families, addresses decades of injustice caused by the War on Drugs, but it is also good policy.
