Dear Josh and the RAW Team,

On behalf of the Last Prisoner Project, I want to extend our deepest gratitude for your extraordinary generosity and unwavering support. Your contributions, totaling $200,000, have significantly impacted our mission to secure freedom for those incarcerated for cannabis-related offenses and to reform unjust drug laws.

Your initial donation of $100,000 in December 2023 allowed us to provide crucial re-entry support for recently released individuals and to fund programs assisting those incarcerated under non-violent, cannabis-related charges. Thanks to your support, we have been able to help numerous individuals rebuild their lives and become powerful advocates for others in similar situations.

We are thrilled to acknowledge that your additional sponsorship of our inaugural Journey to Justice Gala has doubled your impact. This premier sponsorship is a testament to your commitment to the cause and has been instrumental in making this milestone event possible. Your continuous support empowers us to celebrate the resilience and determination of the individuals, families, and communities involved in this transformative movement for freedom.

Your dedication to cannabis justice and criminal justice reform is truly inspiring. By standing with us, you help shine a much-needed light on the injustices faced by countless individuals and contribute to creating a just and equitable future for all. We are honored to have you as a key partner in our journey.

Thank you once again for your incredible support and for believing in the mission of the Last Prisoner Project. Together, we are making a profound difference in the lives of many, and we look forward to continuing this important work with your partnership.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Sarah Gersten
Executive Director and General Counsel
