As part of 420 weekend, Last Prisoner Project held a vigil on Thursday for those currently incarcerated as well as those who passed away while incarcerated for weed-related charges in front of the White House.
Earlier that day, LPP mobilized a coalition of over 30 bipartisan cannabis advocates to lobby Congress to release prisoners incarcerated for weed charges.
Vigil goers light one another's candles in remembrance of those incarcerated and those who passed away while incarcerated.

White roses were also distributed along with candles as symbols of remembrance.
Vigil goers stand by 3,000 artificial candles that represent those still incarcerated for weed-related charges.
Activists stand before the White House chanting, "Hey, Joe, let them go" and "free the people, free the plan!"
