Help Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) celebrate their 10th Anniversary

As many of my supporters remember, LEAP was featured at the THC Tour I organized in 2010.  Not only was Jim Gierach instrumental in presenting and educating at the expo, but the time he took both with community members and activists was beyond the call of duty.  Spending the day in the Madison lobbying with Mr. Gierach, as well as learning about the ‘drug war gravy train’ elevated my activism into high gear.

Time and time again when called on, the team at Law Enforcement Against Prohibition and Jim where back in Wisconsin and on tour the minute we called.  I have become so impressed with the organization over the past couple years that when I was offered the opportunity to join the Speakers Bureau Team with the specific role of booking agent for James Gierach, of course I took it!

Now more than ever it is very important to ask for help from fellow reformists, to reach out and support each other.  I wanted to take this opportunity to ask for your membership and donation to Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, as well as share with you this important message from our Executive Director Major Neill Franklin on this, the 10th Anniversary for LEAP.

Today is Law Enforcement Against Prohibition’s 10th anniversary, and we’d like to invite you to help us celebrate.

 

Founded by five cops on March 16, 2002, over the past ten years LEAP has grown into an international organization with more than 50,000 supporters, 150 dedicated law enforcement speakers, and a remarkable impact on drug policy reform. Today, on the first official day of our eleventh year, we want to say a heartfelt “thank you!” to YOU – each and every one of you who have given your time, effort, financial support, and solidarity to LEAP over the years.

 

With the recent announcement of our LEAP Membership program, we hope all of you will take the opportunityto strengthen your bond with LEAP and help our speakers continue to do what they do best – educate the public about the dire need to end drug prohibition.

 

As a law enforcement member or associate member, you will be eligible to receive an official LEAP badge pin as our thank you gift. Wear it proudly. We’d love to see photos of our supporters wearing their LEAP pins or t-shirts and wishing LEAP a “Happy Anniversary!” so, to kick off our second decade right, for the next 10 days we’re welcoming all LEAP supporters to post photos of themselves showing their LEAP pride on LEAP’s Facebook wall. Our staff will choose their favorite photo, and the winner will receive a LEAP prize package.

 

As always, and especially today, thank you for your support!

 

Sincerely, Major Neill Franklin (Ret.), Executive Director
