"I support the call for universal clemency, a crucial step in criminal justice reform. The people of the State of California understand the harm done by racist, arbitrary, anti-human systems. State killing demeans us all. Dismantling this broken system amplifies the meaning of human dignity.” - Mike Farrell
"It is so well-demonstrated that the death penalty is applied in patently racist ways, it is time for us to move to reject the death penalty entirely. The proposal for universal clemency is a wonderful step in that direction.” - Rabbi Amy Eilberg
