Hi friends,

I hope you had a restful and enjoyable Thanksgiving. Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday—and we need your help. ([link removed])

SAM helped deliver the largest win for public health in marijuana policy in many years:

Using data and facts, we revealed how New York’s legal weed regime ([link removed]) is failing the citizens it’s supposed to be serving. (You can watch our launch event below.)

We took our message international, to Istanbul and Budapest and Nairobi and beyond ([link removed]) :

And spoke out about how drug legalization destroys families ([link removed]) :

Polity published my new book One Nation Under the Influence ([link removed]) (a #1 Amazon bestseller). You can watch our launch event below:

And last but not least, SAM also went three for three on getting our priorities into a newly released government funding bill from the Senate ([link removed]) : the bill affirms enhanced penalties for selling marijuana near schools, retains the ban on marijuana sales in Washington, DC, and does not include any SAFE Banking language!

We did all this and much more more—thanks to you. We need your help to keep doing that ([link removed]) .

When we look at what lies ahead for our dedicated group of perennial underdogs, we see more and more need and opportunity to continue pushing back against Big Weed.

Thank you for standing with us. We would not be able to do this work without you ([link removed]) .

Warmly,
Kevin
