The night of his victory, President-elect Joe Biden declared that the American people had given him a mandate to "marshal the forces of decency...fairness... science and... hope in the great battles of our time"—among them, the battle for racial justice.
As immigrants, criminal justice leaders and Americans who believe in our nation's promise of liberty and justice for all, we applaud the incoming President's commitment to this important work. Moreover, we believe he should make full use of his authority as President—starting day one—to root out racist and failed policies in our justice system.
