The way scientists recognize one another’s work overlooks the seminal contributions of Black scientists. The Nobel Committees need to recognize how this excludes Black scientists from awards

POTUS did the right thing by commuting the sentences of 1,500 ppl who have been reunited with families since COVID & pardoned 39 ppl doing good for their communities. We urge POTUS to continue to recognize redemption & lead with mercy for thousands more & life sentences for those on death row.
We hope that POTUS will focus on giving second chances to deserving people currently in prison, particularly those who remain incarcerated despite changes in the law.
We urge him to do so. Read our statement here ➡️ t.co/Bf47oCP4pB
