John,

On September 17th, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer publicly committed to holding a full vote on the House floor for the Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment, and Expungement (MORE) Act prior to the end of this year.

”The MORE Act remains a critical component of House Democrats’ plan for addressing systemic racism and advancing criminal justice reform, and we are committed to bringing it to the floor for a vote before the end of the year,” Hoyer said.

As it stands right now, 117 of the current 430 seated House members are cosponsors on the MORE Act, including your !

So please, take a moment today to send them a “Thank You” note encouraging them to hold Leader Hoyer accountable to his commitment for a 2020 vote on the MORE Act!

The successful passage of The MORE Act by the House will be the first time since the passage of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 that a Congressional chamber has ever voted on legislation to remove marijuana from its prohibitive classification under federal law.

This is the momentum we will need to take into the 117th Congress to be within striking distance of ending federal marijuana criminalization once and for all.

After you send a note, please consider making a contribution to NORML to ensure that we will have the resources and staff capacity needed for the 2021 legislative session as we track both federal and state efforts.

Thanks for all you do,

The NORML Team
