Today, @POTUS granted clemency to 1,500+ people, most of whom had been serving their sentences at home under the CARES Act passed during the pandemic. We commend President Biden for this first step & urge him to take further action in his remaining days. coc.is/PFS

Today, I’m pardoning 39 people with non-violent crimes who have demonstrated remorse and rehabilitation, and I’m commuting the sentences of nearly 1,500 others – many of whom would have received lower sentences today.   America was built on second chances. That's what these pardons and commutations represent.

Clemency isn’t just an act of mercy; it also gives people a second chance, can restore voting rights through pardons, improves employment opportunities, & helps them live full lives. If we want to build a more just and humane society, it begins by giving people second chances.

As @ItsMsPortia, Managing Director, said today, “We are hopeful that this is just the beginning of a larger effort to free individuals from incarceration and the lifelong stigma of a criminal record.” Urge President Biden to do more in his final days. coc.is/PFS
