This week, Vedder Price hosted Brittany Barnett, co-founder of our pro bono partner @BuriedAliveProj, for a Q&A luncheon with Shareholder Arianna Goodman. Throughout the interview, Brittany and Arianna discussed Buried Alive’s mission and the importance of pro bono casework.

An amazing victory!! So proud! We are so grateful for our partnership with @ArentFoxSchiff! And even more so that Mr. Lewis is going to sleep tonight a free man!

[ArentFox Schiff @ArentFoxSchiff]

In a #ProBono partnership with @BuriedAliveProj, we helped secure the release of Tony Lewis, who has served 34 years of a life sentence for a non-violent drug offense. Lewis will be released today. #FirstStepAct #BuriedAliveProject

Thank you so much for your support to help us free more people buried alive under draconian drug laws!

Sad the Florida Department of Corrections is starting to ban my book. I spoke nothing but TRUTH in the book and I've received hundreds of letters from people in prisons telling me that my book gave them so much hope. Shame on Florida DOC for trying to strip that hope away.

[Brittany K. Barnett @MsBKB]

A step forward today. Hoping @POTUS actions today encourage state governors to follow suit. I hope it also means President Biden will be granting categorical clemency soon to every single person in federal prison serving time for marijuana. That will have a substantial impact. 🙏🏽

[Brittany K. Barnett @MsBKB]

Agreed.

[Brittany K. Barnett @MsBKB]

It sounds good. I do have questions. Like how many people will this impact? Demographics? How many have other convictions that will still handcuff them? I don't know anyone who had federal "simple possession" charges so I'm not sure.

The Buried Alive Project is honored to be the recipient of $UDC's very first disbursement of tokens from the UDC Alliance Locker. We're excited to see all of the doors that can be unlocked thanks to the forward-thinking, equitable nature of crypto.

[Buried Alive Project @BuriedAliveProj]

Exciting news! We're grateful to partner with $UDC to leverage crypto technology to continue freeing people unjustly sentenced under draconian drug laws. This innovative partnership will help us to save more lives, reunite more families, & push for impactful, systemic change ✊🏾

I went to law school because my dad was sentenced to life in prison for non-violent drug crimes. I did what I could to get him out. He did 20 years and got out right in time for my graduation.

Just finished this jewel by @MsBKB. Powerful, gripping, inspiring. If you want to change the world but aren’t sure if one person can make a difference, read this book. @BuriedAliveProj @GEM_AmplifyHER

[Buried Alive Project @BuriedAliveProj]

We are happy to see this news and elated for the people on the list and their families! Hoping this is just the beginning and that thousands of people buried alive under outdated federal drugs laws are granted relief soon. There is nothing more urgent than freedom.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Today, President Biden is using his sweeping clemency powers for the first time, announcing three pardons and the commutations of 75 sentences of nonviolent drug officers.

Life saving victory! We are very proud to stand alongside our partners at Jackson Walker as we work together to free people serving unjust sentences under outdated federal drug laws. There is nothing more urgent than freedom.

[Jackson Walker LLP @Jackson_Walker]

We are proud to partner with @BuriedAliveProj to help free people in prison sentenced to life without parole for nonviolent drug offenses. Recently, our #probono team secured a reduction in the life sentence of Ray Charles Fields.
