The IEJF is excited to join forces with Cresco Labs SEED™ (Social Equity & Education Development) to bring further awareness to New Leaf Illinois, the state-funded program dedicated to clearing Illinoisans’ past cannabis convictions for FREE.

Cresco Labs SEED™ develops tangible pathways into the cannabis industry for communities impacted by the War on Drugs through three pillars: restorative justice, community business incubation, and education & workforce development.

New Leaf Illinois, which was specifically designed to combat the effects of prior ill-conceived and ill-enforced drug policy, is receiving generous support from Cresco Labs SEED™ to print and ship thousands of informational palm cards (in both English and Spanish) so residents around the state can be alerted to the opportunity to expunge their prior records.

Big thanks to Cresco Labs SEED™ for their crucial role in spreading the word about New Leaf Illinois, giving Illinois residents the chance to turn over a new leaf in their lives today.
