“Be one in demanding dignified conditions for those in prison, respect for their human rights and above all the abolition of the death penalty, a provision at odds with Christian faith and one that eliminates all hope of forgiveness and rehabilitation.”
– Pope Francis, Spes non confundit
Join Catholics and people of goodwill across the country in urging President Joe Biden to commute the sentences of the 40 men on federal death row before he leaves office. By commuting these sentences, President Biden can offer these men a chance for redemption and demonstrate a commitment to upholding the dignity of all human life.
The upcoming Jubilee Year of 2025 is a moment of profound renewal and forgiveness, a time to heal wounds and show compassion. Answer Pope Francis’ call to demand an end to the death penalty.
