ACTIVE CAMPAIGNS
PARDONS TO PROGRESS
We know public pressure is the only thing that will make these policymakers take action. That's why we've launched Pardons To Progress, an advocacy campaign calling on the President and state governors to grant clemency to the tens of thousands of people who remain incarcerated due to nonviolent cannabis convictions.
Take thirty seconds to write a letter to your governor today!!
LETTER WRITING PROGRAM
We're inviting our supporters to send well wishes to those currently incarcerated for cannabis. After all, sending a letter to an incarcerated cannabis prisoner reminds them that you're fighting for them and they have not been forgotten. As our constituents will say over and over again — a handwritten note can really go a long way.
CONSTITUENT PETITIONS
Add your name to help drive real change. Our petitions are a powerful way to stand up for justice and demand freedom for those still incarcerated.
FREE ROBERT DEALS
Robert Deals, a retired Air Force veteran who served this country for eleven respectable years, is now serving his twelfth year of an 18-year sentence in the state prison in Yuma, Arizona for a cannabis-related conviction.
We encourage you to use the info below to write, call, and email their offices to urge them to release him!
FREE ANTONIO WYATT
In May 2017, Antonio was driving on Interstate-70 from Colorado to his home state of Tennessee when an officer pulled him over for a traffic stop and smelled cannabis in his vehicle. The officer then searched his vehicle and found eight pounds of cannabis.
Having already served six years for an activity now legal in most of the country, Antonio deserves freedom.
FREE KEVIN ALLEN
Kevin Allen is currently serving a 35-year sentence after being resentenced from life sentence without the possibility of parole when he was convicted in 2014 of selling $20 worth of marijuana. The Louisiana Supreme Court ordered the judge to give Kevin a sentence that is not constitutionally excessive, but 35 years is longer than anyone should be incarcerated for cannabis. However, Kevin's resentencing means he will be eligible for parole later this year.
FREE ROLLIE LAMAR
Rollie Lamar, a devoted father of six and a man of deep faith, is serving an 18-year federal sentence for non-violent cannabis-related offenses.
He is a first-time offender—but the sentence he received is devastatingly harsh, and he suffers from serious health conditions like diabetes and neuropathy that have only worsened while he has been in prison.
FREE DAVID LOPEZ
David Lopez, a 64-year-old from El Paso, Texas, is currently serving a lengthy 24-year sentence for a non-violent cannabis-related offense. This harsh sentence was primarily because the prosecutor wrongfully referenced a prior conviction.
David awaits to be reunited with his wife Terry of over 40 years and their three daughters, one of which is a cancer survivor, underscoring the urgency for David's release.
FREE RICARDO ASHMEADE
Ricardo Ashmeade has been serving a 22-year sentence for a non-violent cannabis offense – despite changes to state laws that would no longer treat his actions as illegal. He has spent almost 17 years away from his daughter, Richeda Ashmeade, who continues to fight for his release after receiving her J.D.
Ricardo's egregious sentence was made harsher because he took his case to trial, a right that is often punished by the system.
