LPP constituent Sean Farmer was released in April after serving about 12 years in prison for a nonviolent cannabis offense. 🧵 Photo of Sean Farmer and so...
Sean’s freedom came after Missouri passed Amendment 3, legalizing recreational cannabis and ordering the expungement of all nonviolent cannabis misdemeanors and felonies.
Upon his release, Sean received an LPP grant to help offset some of the financial barriers of reentry. Like most in his position, he is still struggling to find work and balance his mental health. However, he tells @kcur that he is “super grateful.”

On Wednesday, Kevin was resentenced to 35 years of hard labor. His crime? Selling $20 worth of cannabis to an undercover informant.
In 2014, Kevin was found guilty by a split jury and initially sentenced to 10 years of hard labor but the state filed for an enhancement of punishment under the state’s habitual offender laws.

The progression of the LGBTQ movement and the cannabis justice movement are intricately intertwined, as activists have fought together for years.

TAKE ACTION: Rudi Gammo is serving 5.5 years in prison for a nonviolent cannabis offense in Michigan. Every day that goes by is another day he is denied justice. Read his story and join us as we call on @GovWhitmer to bring him home. #FreeRudiGammo 🧵 Photo of Rudi Gammo in pris...
In 2018, Rudi Gammo was arrested and sentenced to 5.5 years in prison for allowing the caregivers who supplied his city-sanctioned medical dispensary with medical marijuana to cultivate the plant on his property.
That same year, Michigan residents voted to legalize adult-use marijuana and in 2019, @GovWhitmer promised to release and expunge anyone with cannabis-related offenses. But it's going on 4 years since then and Rudi is still incarcerated.

THREAD: Earlier today Congress reintroduced the MORE Act, the most comprehensive marijuana reform bill in U.S. history. If signed into law, the legislation would remove cannabis from the CSA & eliminate federal penalties for manufacturing, distributing or possessing marijuana.⁣
The MORE Act would also create expungement & sentencing review processes for those with federal cannabis convictions, prohibit the denial of federal benefits due to marijuana-related conduct or charges, & use #cannabis tax revenues to fund community reinvestment programs.⁣
⁣
It is critically important that any piece of federal legalization legislation prioritizes ⁣social justice and repairing the harms of prohibition.
