Pennywise has been working with the Amazon Hope team on a preparedness plan for the Kuikuro of the Xingu region of the Amazon. Together we have mounted a response that includes:

• Support for traveling Kuikuro returning to the village;
• Getting supplies including food, gas, soap, cloth for masks, clear plastic and parts for equipment; and 
• Adapting structures in the village for quarantine
  ​
  

Nurses and health monitors are currently being trained in the Xingu and all hands are on deck to protect indigenous communities from the devastation that could come from Covid-19.

​Together we can save lives.

Pennywise is pleased to announce our new partnership with the Last Prisoner Project:,  a coalition of cannabis industry leaders, executives, and artists dedicated to bringing restorative justice to the cannabis industry. Over 40,000 cannabis prisoners in the United States alone are waiting to be decarcarated for convictions on activities that are no longer crimes, while countless others languish in jails and prisons worldwide. 

Mass incarceration has left prisons and jails highly susceptible to an outbreak given overcrowding, lack of resources, and little access to medical care. To address this situation public officials need to take steps to reduce overcrowding and ensure access to medical care. Founder, Steve DeAngelo, outlines steps that correctional institutions should be taking to protect our nation's incarcerated population from Covid-19,  Click HERE to learn what you can do to help.
