Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : He has an imprint all over the world, and today, movements like Black Lives Matter are manifestations of his vision.
38% : In Garvey's case, his conviction was widely regarded as a tool of systemic oppression.
23% : Before this Sunday morning announcement, Biden commuted the sentences of nearly 2,500 people convicted of nonviolent drug offenses on Friday.
22% : President Bill Clinton commuted her sentence in 2000, and since then, she has dedicated her efforts to reforming the criminal justice system.
18% : This decision also follows Biden's earlier move to commute the sentences of 37 out of 40 people on federal death row, converting their punishment to life imprisonment -- a stark contrast to the Trump administration, which presided over an unprecedented 13 executions during its final months, even amid the coronavirus pandemic.
