For John Legend, drug-related incarceration is an issue that hits close to home. As a teenager, he saw his mother struggle with depression and drug abuse; eventually, she landed in prison. The singer has previously spoken out against mass incarceration and campaigned for criminal justice reform with his #FREEAMERICA initiative. Here, he petitions President Obama on behalf of federal inmates.
First of all, I would like to thank you for your friendship and for your outstanding service to our country. I’m particularly grateful for the concrete steps your administration has taken to provide opportunities to tens of millions of young people and families who have been impacted by mass incarceration.
Your administration took bold steps to end juvenile solitary confinement, reduce the use of federal private prisons and move to “ban the box” for federal employees. While we hope the Trump administration and the 115th Congress will maintain this progress and continue to work in a bipartisan manner to reform our criminal justice system, it is unclear what their priorities will be and when families can expect justice. Before you leave office, I would like to add my voice to the more than 2 million Americans who have asked you to use your clemency and pardon powers to bring justice to the thousands of families of non-violent drug offenders who have waited far too long for Congress to act.
In 2014, you set out to reinvigorate our country’s approach to clemency. Your actions to commute the…

John Legend’s favorite track off his new album, Darkness and Light, was written for a very special lady: His seven-month-old daughter, Luna.
“When I played it for her and Chrissy for the first time, I just started crying because it felt so real to me and felt so appropriate for how I feel as a new father,” Legend said of the melancholy ballad titled “Right by You (For Luna).”
The Grammy-winning singer welcomed his first child with wife Chrissy Teigen in April.
In “Right by You” Legend ponders the kind of person his daughter will become.
“New parents have questions more than they have answers and that’s what we wanted the song to reflect,” Legend, 37, said in an interview last week. “You know, will you live like me? Will you look like me? Will you have your mother’s fire? Will you think like me?”
The Hollywood couple’s passionate love story permeates Legend’s fifth studio album, out Friday. It’s his first album in three years, following the massive success of the No. 1 hit, “All of Me,” and Oscar and Grammy wins for “Glory” from the film Selma.
