Last year, President Biden urged governors across the United States to pardon individuals with nonviolent cannabis-related convictions. Despite his call to action, many governors have not responded to this request.

In light of this, the Last Prisoner Project has initiated the Pardons to Progress campaign to increase public pressure on the President and state governors to grant clemency to tens of thousands of individuals who remain incarcerated for nonviolent cannabis offenses.

The Pardons to Progress campaign aims to make it easy for the public to voice their support for commuting the sentences of those still behind bars due to nonviolent cannabis convictions. By visiting www.pardonstoprogress.com, supporters can contact their state governors through phone calls or letters urging them to take action.

In addition to direct communication, the campaign encourages people to amplify their message by sharing Pardons to Progress graphics on social media platforms.

Sample social media copy includes:

"Join our #PardonsToProgress campaign to urge your governor to use their clemency power to provide relief for people currently incarcerated for cannabis. Contact your governor at lpp.la/pardonstoprogress!"

and

"Pardoning cannabis prisoners is good policy. And it’s popular—72% of Americans support it. Join our #PardonsToProgress campaign to pressure your Governor to commute the sentences of those still behind bars for marijuana. Learn more at lpp.la/pardonstoprogress!"

By mobilizing the public, the Last Prisoner Project hopes to hold politicians accountable and drive them to heed President Biden's call for pardons.

The Pardons to Progress campaign is dedicated to ensuring that governors across the country use their clemency powers to free people still imprisoned for cannabis offenses. To take part in the movement, visit www.pardonstoprogress.com and join the coalition of advocates demanding change.
