Hi John!

Early on, I fought hard to ensure that people had access to marijuana for medical reasons. It became increasingly clear that the war on drugs was really a war on the poor and communities of color. These are the people who are going to jail for possession and recreational use, filling up our prisons and creating a lifetime of negative consequences for them.
  Show lawmakers that we won’t stand for this systemic injustice any longer.
It is time to legalize marijuana nationally. I believe all individuals incarcerated on marijuana charges should have their records expunged – a crucial and necessary next step. We need to give these folks their lives back.
  SIGN HERE >> Marijuana legalization is a social justice issue.
We must view this as an opportunity in our ongoing fight to achieve true economic and racial equity and as an important step in criminal justice reform. As Senator, I will make the legalization of marijuana a priority because I recognize that, both socially and economically, it is in everyone’s best interest to see this issue in our rearview mirror.

In Solidarity,

Betsy Sweet
