Friend,

Can you imagine running a business without a bank account?

That's the reality for law-abiding marijuana businesses across the country. In states where marijuana is legal, these businesses have extremely limited access to basic banking services like deposits or lines of credit. They're forced to keep massive amounts of cash on hand -- a danger for everyone involved.

That's why I'm championing the Secure and Fair Enforcement Regulation (SAFER) Banking Act. If you're with me, sign your name now.

Banks are nervous to interact with legal marijuana businesses because marijuana remains illegal at the federal level.

I firmly believe that we should legalize marijuana. But while I continue pushing for legalization, these businesses need our immediate support.

Sign on to support the SAFER Banking Act and make sure marijuana business owners can access basic banking services.

Onward,

Chuck Schumer
