Today, President Biden took historic action, issuing clemency to nearly 2,500 people convicted of nonviolent drug offenses who were sentenced under outdated & harsh laws. This is the largest single-day clemency action in U.S. history to dismantle racial inequities in our justice system.

RM Meeks: The right to peacefully protest is fundamental to any democracy. Kenyans calling for an end to femicide deserve to be heard, not met with violence. I condemn these tactics by police and urge the Kenyan govt to ensure a transparent investigation of their use. shorturl.at/Br6Jp
