John, this is extremely time-sensitive. All hands on deck!!!

We have 5 days to free Michael Thompson. He’s been in prison for 25 years for selling weed to an undercover informant. He has 35 years left in his sentence. It’s way too much, and this is in Michigan, a state that has now legalized recreational weed.

On January 29th, Michael’s attorneys will submit a formal request to Governor Gretchen Whitmer to set Michael free, and we need thousands of letters from people like you to be part of it! If we don’t succeed on the 29th, Michael will have to wait another two years. So please, we need you to do this:

Tell Gov. Whitmer to free Michael Thompson by sending a letter on this page right now. Please personalize the template letter if you can.

Send your letter

Michael’s attorneys will hand-deliver the letters on the 29th. (Personalizing the note will make a bigger impact, but we’ve included a template if you need it.)

Listen. Gov. Whitmer has said she is committed to justice reform. She’s said she would expunge records like Michael’s. But to make sure she does the right thing, we need a major grassroots push.

The injustice of Michael’s situation is stunning. He is 68 years old. That means he’s essentially been given a life sentence. Without a major push right now, Michael could spend decades more in prison. All while Michigan’s legalized weed industry is projected to become a $1.5 BILLION industry by 2021.

He’s done enough time. He’s paid his price. Gov. Whitmer needs to free him immediately by commuting his sentence.

Tell Gov. Whitmer right now to free Michael Thompson. Do this in your own words. It’ll only take a few seconds.

Our voices are so powerful together. Thank you for using yours today at this critical moment for Michael.
