To the Office of the Pardon Attorney,

Please urge President Biden to issue a statement before he leaves office declaring Ethel Rosenberg's conviction and execution wrongful.

Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were executed on June 19, 1953 during the anti-communist hysteria of the Cold War Era. A newly declassified NSA memorandum dated August 22, 1950 – just days after Ethel's arrest – confirms that the U.S. government knew she was not a spy long before her trial and execution ( https://www.rfc.org/why-ethels-execution-was-wrongful ).

A formal acknowledgement of the wrong done to Ethel Rosenberg and her family will help prevent similar injustices in the future. Please, urge President Biden to formally exonerate Ethel Rosenberg now. More than 70 years after her unjust conviction and execution, now is the time to right this historic injustice, redress the harm done to the Rosenberg/Meeropol family and finally clear her good name.

Sincerely,

Alan Singer
