Today is 4/20,
John.
While many see this as a day to celebrate legalized recreational and
medicinal marijuana — today, we want to recognize and uplift the work
needed to end the racist and unjust War on Drugs.
The War on Drugs started over 50 years ago and it is still raging in
neighborhoods across the country. And it continues to disproportionately
harm Black and Brown communities.
Studies show a Black person is 3.6x more likely to be arrested for
marijuana possession than a white person, even though Black and white
people use marijuana at similar rates. In just one year, Latinos made up
77% of federal marijuana sentences.
Pramila knows this moment demands action. She successfully pushed the
White House to issue pardons for everyone with federal convictions for
simple possession of marijuana. And she knows we need to continue pushing
to fully deschedule marijuana.
It will take all of us to end this War on Drugs. [ [link removed] ]If you stand with our
