1/President Biden will commute sentences for 1,500 people & pardon 39 more. In a commutation, a defendant’s sentence is shortened to the amount of time they have already served. A pardon wipes out a conviction as though it never happened. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Pardons, Chris Wray, and DOJ's Inspector General

Please @POTUS consider a pardon for #FreeMichelleWest
I met her in prison and if it wasn’t for her I would have been killed or set-up by the inmates!

32 years ago, Michelle West received a mandatory life sentence. It would not be mandatory today. Pres. Biden pardoned his son—now he must #FreeMichelleWest and others, undoing the harm these sentences cause families. Please call every Friday and urge him to free Michelle.

I'm glad Biden commuted the death sentences for 37 of 40 people on federal death row.
Now he needs to pardon the 3000 people in prison for non-violent drug offenses, pardon Leonard Peltier & Steven Donziger, cancel student debt, & sign the ERA into law. Keep the pressure on him.
