Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The last prisoner project (llp) was formed in direct response to the criminalization of cannabis and the disproportionate impact it has had on marginalized communities. The goal of the organization is to reduce and one day eliminate the social and economic inequities casued by unfair cannabis laws and related public policies. We are dedicated to ensuring that, through clemency and criminal justice reform efforts, no individual in the u.s. Remains incarcertated as a result of a cannabis related offense.

Legal and social services for those impacted by the criminal justice system.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0REENTRY AND ADVOCACY:OUR REENTRY RESOURCES FOCUS ON ENSURING THAT OUR CONSTITUENTS HAVE THE TOOLS AND SUPPORT THEY NEED WHEN COMING HOME FROM INCARCERATION. THIS INCLUDES FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR HOUSING, TRANSPORTATION, MEDICAL NEEDS, EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS AND TRAINING, AND FINANCIAL WELLNESS COUNSELING. TO THAT END, EVERY YEAR, LPP DISPERSES DIRECT MICROGRANTS TO SYSTEM-IMPACTED CONSTITUENTS. FURTHERMORE, OUR FAMILY SUPPORT FUND ALLOCATES A PORTION OF LPP'S FUNDING DIRECTLY TO THE CHILDREN OF OUR CONSTITUENTS TO HELP THEM ACCESS EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES WHILE THEIR PARENT IS INCARCERATED.OUR ADVOCACY CAMPAIGNS USE THE FACES AND STORIES OF INDIVIDUALS NEGATIVELY IMPACTED BY CANNABIS PROHIBITION AND OTHER MISGUIDED DRUG POLICIES TO HELP TO CHANGE THE NARRATIVE ABOUT THESE ISSUES. WE ALSO PRODUCE REPORTS, COMMENTARY, AND SHAREABLE CONTENT THAT EXPLORE THE SORDID HISTORY BEHIND-AND DEVASTATING IMPACT OF-OUR DRUG NATION'S "WAR ON DRUGS." THIS RESEARCH IS OFTEN LEVERAGED TO ASSIST ADVOCATES, ACADEMICS, AND POLICYMAKERS AS THEY WORK TO END THE CRIMINALIZATION OF CANNABIS AND EFFECTUATE OTHER DRUG POLICY REFORMS.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0LEGAL:THE LPP TEAM FIGHTS TO SECURE THE "FULL FREEDOM" OF EVERY LAST PERSON IN PRISON FOR UNJUST CANNABIS LAWS. THE FIRST STEP IS ENSURING THE RELEASE OF THOSE STILL INCARCERATED FOR NONVIOLENT, CANNABIS-RELATED OFFENSES. WE ACCOMPLISH THIS THROUGH OUR PRO BONO LEGAL SERVICES, WHERE WE WORK TO SECURE FREEDOM FOR OUR CONSTITUENTS THROUGH EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY PETITIONS, COMPASSIONATE RELEASE MOTIONS, AND OTHER RELEVANT LEGAL MECHANISMS. OUR LEGAL ARM ALSO IDENTIFIES AND PURSUES STRATEGIC LEGAL ACTIONS (AMICUS BRIEFS, CLASS ACTION SUITS, INDIVIDUAL CLAIMS, ETC.) THAT SUPPORT OUR EFFORTS TO EFFECTUATE DRUG POLICY AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE-RELATED REFORMS.
