Join CMA and LPP for virtual happy hour where we will be writing letters for the holidays to Last Prisoner Project’s constituents!
About this Event
The Last Prisoner Project (LPP) is a coalition of cannabis industry leaders, executives and artists dedicated to bringing restorative justice to the cannabis industry. LPP is dedicated to releasing cannabis prisoners and helping them rebuild their lives.
Join Cannabis Marketing Association and Last Prisoner Project for our Holiday Letter Writing Happy Hour on December 2. Attendees will hear from LPP’s Managing Director, Mary Bailey, to learn about Last Prisoner Project’s Letter Writing Program, how to get involved, and have the opportunity to write an LPP constituent a letter.
What to Write
The biggest hurdle to beginning a pen pal relationship is getting started. A suggestion for a first letter might include an intro with a short bio, an explanation of how you came to hear about your pen pal, hobbies, pets, music, activism, etc. You can also wish them a happy holiday to raise spirits. Furthermore let them know that cannabis justice activists like yourself are fighting for their freedom! Don’t forget, the prison mail system can be slow. Sometimes it takes several weeks to get a response.
