Also, another big step in the ongoing issue that has drastically impacted the people of color community. Though the pardon is not defending those who were arrested with possession of intent to distribute, those will continue to have their charges with them. This pardon can also help lead to more job employment. Joe Biden stated, "There are thousands of people who have prior Federal convictions for marijuana possession, which may be denied employment, housing, or educational opportunities as a result."
