Dear Friend,

Today, many people around the world are celebrating marijuana and advocating for an end to its prohibition– a movement that the Drug Policy Alliance has been leading for the past 20 years.

We envision a just society in which the use and regulation of drugs are grounded in science, compassion, health, and human rights.

As we face this health crisis, we appropriately see medical marijuana access in legal states declared essential. But we also see thousands of people who were arrested for marijuana remain behind bars, facing the grave threat of COVID-19 outbreaks in overcrowded jails and prisons. These are the people we fight for, and our fight has just become more urgent. We hope you find solidarity during this time by coming together to stop this disastrous drug war.

As a compassionate supporter, you have helped us make tremendous strides in our fight for marijuana policy reform, and we want to thank you for your interest in DPA.

Polls show that two-thirds of Americans support an end to marijuana prohibition, but the Federal Government continues to resist legalization while wasting billions of taxpayer dollars enforcing marijuana related “crime” each year.

Last year, we led the effort to introduce the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act (MORE Act). Now we are working to convince Congress to pass the bill and end its federal war on marijuana. When the MORE Act passes, marijuana will be descheduled, states will be able to make their own policies for marijuana use, and together we will begin to repair the extensive damage done by its prohibition.

WANT TO SUPPORT OUR FIGHT?

Sign our petition to tell Congress to support the MORE Act.
