We stand with the #CommutationNow campaign in calling on @JoshShapiroPA to get the PA Board of Pardons back on track! Shapiro promised to support second chances, but far fewer people have been commuted under his admin compared to Gov. Wolf.

David Dawud Lee deserves #CommutationNow@JohnFetterman@JoshShapiroPA#DawudTaughtMe so many things, the most important being not to allow my worst moment or mistake to define me for the rest of my life. That change starts with defining yourself and who you want to be.
We need leaders in PA who see their mission as fighting the root causes of violence, like poverty, not continuing the myths of the "tough on crime" era by doubling down on perpetual punishment. We deserve better, and we won't stop fighting for our communities. #CommutationNow
Today, we’ll be focusing on the Board’s clemency votes, and hope to see members of the Board of Pardons like @PAAttorneyGen and @JohnFetterman lead with a belief in people’s ability to change and the value of redemption. #CommutationNow
This is why we need geriatric and medical parole. And, this is why we need members of the Board of Pardons like @JohnFetterman and @JoshShapiroPA to to free our elders by voting yes for #CommutationNow
That wraps up the Board of Pardons votes for today -- we'll be back later this afternoon with a statement. One thing is clear: we must keep fighting for #CommutationNow
We’ll keep saying it: Pennsylvania needs more #CommutationNow. We’ll be watching the votes of members of the Board of Pardons including @JohnFetterman and @PAAttorneyGen and hope to see them stand on the side of second chances, freedom, and healing.
I am calling on @PAAttorneyGen and @JohnFetterman to vote yes on second chances at the Board of Pardons. We need #CommutationNow, not perpetual punishment! Healing justice, not hanging justice!
Commutation is the only pathway home for people serving life sentences in PA. In a state where only 11% of the population is Black, 65% of people sentenced to life are Black. Black incarcerated lives matter -- we need #CommutationNow! @JoshShapiroPA@JohnFetterman
Join us on Tuesday, June 22nd at 6pm as we demand that members of the Board of Pardons free people from life without parole and longterm sentences. To register, go to bit.ly/calltheBOP. #CommutationNow
We're calling on Board members like @JohnFetterman and @PAAttorneyGen to center the question of who a candidate is today when casting their votes, and hope to see lots of opportunities for freedom granted. Our communities need #SecondChances#CommutationNow
As our movements push for #CommutationNow, we know we are winning when we see an increase in the percentage of people recommended for commutation by the Board. We need Board members who are committed to reuniting people with their families, and ending mass incarceration.
We are mourning the loss of Brandon Bernard to state execution last night. And we are deepening our commitment to fighting for a world where no one dies in a cage. Today, that means that Board of Pardons members @PAAttorneyGeneral and @JohnFetterman must vote for #CommutationNow
