My historic #FIXClemency Act would change the lives of tens of thousands—like Jason’s—and help #EndMassIncarceration in America.
Congress must pass it immediately.
The U.S. has a severe mass incarceration crisis causing crushing racial, social and economic consequences. Many remain unjustly imprisoned, often because of race or inadequate representation. Correcting this will require a myriad of solutions, one of which is the #FIXClemency Act
We need to #EndMassIncarceration & fixing our clemency process is a central part of the solution.
My #FIXClemency Act would help us address the massive clemency backlog and help our communities find healing.

"The current federal clemency process is extremely problematic given that the same federal agency–the [DOJ]–that holds the power to prosecute someone also controls recommendations to the President." @AnchorAngi @SpecNews1Worc @AFPhq #FIXclemency https://t.co/DIHOjCzyul
With 17,000+ clemency applications pending for years before @TheJusticeDept, we must pass our #FIXClemency Act.
Behind every application is a person, a family, a community — and their lives hang in the balance.
Today, there are over 17,000 people waiting for their clemency applications to be reviewed.
The Clemency system is broken, we need reform, we need @RepPressley’s #FIXClemencyAct.

Congress created our broken & unjust clemency process, and now it's time for Congress to fix it.
With over 17,000 clemency applications pending, we must pass my #FIXClemency Act so we can help #EndMassIncarceration and set our communities on a pathway to healing.
Rep. @AyannaPressley testifies before @HouseJudiciary in support of the #FIXClemency Act, her bill to transform the broken clemency process and help #EndMassIncarceration.
In the United States, the president has the power to grant federal clemency, but the current process is bureaucratic, not transparent, and unjust.

The power of clemency & redemption is profound.
I’m thrilled that @POTUS is heeding our calls for bold action & pathways to healing, & I remain committed to passing critical legislation, like our #FIXClemency Act, to transform our clemency process & help end mass incarceration.
This marked the first time Biden has used his clemency powers in his presidency as many in the Democratic Party have clamored for him to exercise his executive authority, especially in the area of criminal justice reform.

Federal clemency is a tool to repair current and past harms to Black people and weaken the systems that subject our people to surveillance and punitive policies under the guise of safety.

The #FIXClemency Act would establish a new system to better facilitate clemency relief for people with certain federal convictions, including those for cannabis. @marijuanamoment

Mass incarceration has devastated communities of color for decades.
It's well past time to fix our unjust criminal legal system, which is why I'm proud to stand with @RepPressley and @RepCori in the fight to #FIXClemency and begin to end mass incarceration.
Justice, transparency, & healing. That’s what our bill is about.
We must pass the #FIXClemencyAct to help #EndMassIncarceration and stabilize our families and communities.
Compassionate release is not enough. We need overlapping remedies that don't involve judges, because some federal judges will never grant compassionate release no matter how bad a person's medical conditions have become. #FixClemency #SecondLooks
