in prison will only get worse under a Trump administration. Many will die there.
It's up to President Obama to commute sentences before he leaves office January 20.
With only a few days left in his administration, we need to help push Obama to act.

President Obama has less than one week left as president. For people in prison fighting for clemency, his choices in the next few days could mark the difference between life and death. Advocates for Chelsea Manning, Leonard Peltier, Mumia Abu Jamal and Oscar López Rivera, to name a few, have made it clear that if President Obama does not act on their behalf, they are unlikely to survive in prison for Donald Trump’s term.
It is vital that we act now. At The Nation, Atoosa Moinzadeh wrote about some of the most high profile people asking for clemency right now and outlined what you can do to help them.

As Moinzadeh points out, President Obama has used sentencing commutations to help people imprisoned under the draconian “war on drugs,” but he remains stingy regarding pardons compared to his predecessors.
There is some room for hope, however. NBC News reported earlier this week that Chelsea Manning was on the president’s short-list for a sentence commutation and a number of high profile people have called for the release of López Rivera and Peltier.
