At the campaign’s core is a call to public action. Accompanying each prisoner’s name is a QR code leading to release-papers.com. Here, supporters can sign the Cannabis Clemency Now petition, urging President Biden to release federal cannabis prisoners, and engage in a letter-writing program to the featured inmates.

Highlighted in this campaign are the cases of four individuals, each serving heavy sentences for victimless offences. Edwin Rubis, Hector McGurk, Moe Taher, and Ricardo Ashmeade represent countless others, unjustly punished and forgotten in a rapidly changing landscape of cannabis laws.

While some individuals in the US can legally enjoy cannabis, more than 40,000 people remain imprisoned for the same offense, with many of them residing in states where cannabis is now legalized. Unfortunately, a disproportionate number of these individuals are people of color.

Each package of Release Papers contains a scannable QR code that leads purchasers to a petition advocating for clemency for those currently incarcerated or unfairly burdened by federal cannabis-related convictions. Furthermore, a portion of the profits from the sale of Release Papers will be donated to The Last Prisoner Project, a noble cause dedicated to bringing justice to those affected by outdated cannabis laws.
