What We’re Asking The President To Do
Provide pardon
A pardon restores certain civil liberties that are typically lost as a result of a criminal conviction. A pardon does not remove individuals from federal custody. Only a commutation, which is different from a pardon, can amend a criminal sentence and release an individual.
We’re asking President Joe Biden to use his clemency power to provide pardon and commutation to those unjustly incarcerated for cannabis.
Provide commutation
President Joe Biden has the authority to release 3,000 federal cannabis prisoners with his clemency power. By providing commutation it will allow the prisoners to return to their families and have their records expunged helping them return to normal life.
