Overview

• Records cited by the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund say the Wren Collective worked with 40 prosecutors across 22 states, affecting jurisdictions with roughly 48 million residents.
• Emails show Wren offered assistance "without any billing or publicity" and told clients "these policies will be yours, not ours."
• The report names funding from major donors, including more than $500,000 from John Arnold, $295,000 from Real Justice PAC, and $250,000 from Open Philanthropy.
• Examples in the documents include model policies sent to Portland’s incoming DA in 2020, weekly communications with San Francisco’s Chesa Boudin, and collaboration with Burlington’s Sarah George on decriminalization efforts.
• Only two offices paid Wren with public funds, according to the report, identifying Los Angeles County under George Gascón and Hennepin County under Mary Moriarty, while Wren did not respond to a request for comment.
