Our Partners
To date the Michigan Cannabis Freedom Coalition has worked with Last Prisoner Project, Redemption Foundation, Black cannabis Access Force Detroit and Michigan Cannabis Industry Association to engage Attorney General Dana Nessel and Governor Gretchen Whitmer to support a clemency program that would result in pardons, clemency or commutation for over 200 people currently serving sentences for cannabis-related nonviolent offenses within the Michigan Department of Corrections.
The MCFC has been able to obtain three lists with over 1200 names each of people in prison who could benefit from this opportunity for clemency. While in the infancy stages, the MCFC has been able to raise over $50K and financially support a list of 7 people currently incarcerated with cannabis-related offenses and their families to benefit from these donations.

Faith in Action
Faith in Action has a unique role to play in building a larger movement for change. This contribution flows from our capacity to engage large numbers of people through trusted community institutions, speak prophetically about the moral dimensions of political choices, and bring people together across race, class, religion, urban/suburban/rural, and region to make progress on racial and economic justice.
The Redemption Cannabis Foundation
Michigan cannabis Freedom Coalition
Michigan Cannabis Freedom Coalition is a diverse group of organizations, advocates, and businesses that have come together to address the fundamental disparity in the now legal cannabis industry, that while some are able to profit from, others continue to suffer the collateral consequences of Michigan’s unjust and inequitable approach to the criminalization of marijuana.
The MCFC aims to provide direct services and advocate for policies that will benefit individuals and communities disproportionately impacted by prohibition.
MCFC’s mission is to provide a fresh start to those who have been harmed by the criminalization of cannabis through clemency, commutation, expungement, pardons, reducing restrictions, and education.
