RAW Rolling Papers Donates $100,000 to The Weldon Project
RAW Rolling Papers, through its charitable arm RAW Giving, has donated $100,000 to The Weldon Project, a non-profit organization dedicated to reforming cannabis laws and rectifying the damages they have caused. This generous contribution adds to RAW's impressive $3 million milestone in charitable contributions, demonstrating their unwavering commitment to social justice within the cannabis community.
The funds will directly support The Weldon Project's Mission Green initiative, which provides vital aid and resources to individuals reentering society after incarceration for cannabis-related offenses. Through this initiative, the organization offers legal assistance, job training, and essential support services to ensure successful reintegration for these individuals.
"This generous donation from RAW Giving is a game-changer for us and, more importantly, for the countless individuals who are unjustly suffering because of outdated and unjust cannabis laws," expressed Weldon Angelos, founder of The Weldon Project. "It's partnerships like these that not only bring financial support but also raise awareness about the crucial need for reform and the importance of giving those impacted by prohibition a second chance at life."
Angelos founded The Weldon Project after his release from prison following a high-profile case that garnered widespread attention and support for his release. Since then, he has dedicated his efforts to advocating for justice for individuals affected by cannabis prohibition.
HBI International, the company behind RAW Rolling Papers, views this contribution as an extension of its mission to ensure fairness in the cannabis industry. CEO and founder Josh Kesselman remarked, "This donation is reflective of RAW's commitment to justice and equity in the cannabis community. Nobody should be locked up for using this wonderful plant, and I hope this donation helps many people live the lives they deserve. Hopefully, this inspires others to join us in supporting justice for all people harmed by the War on Drugs."
Together, RAW Giving and The Weldon Project are working towards a future where cannabis laws are equitable and those harmed by prohibition are given the opportunities they deserve.
