[1]Beto for America
John, it's
time to end the War on Drugs.
That’s why, today, Beto announced a sweeping plan to legalize marijuana
and end the war once and for all.
But, it’s not enough for us to just end the War on Drugs — we need to
actually start to repair the damage it has wrought on communities of
color.

That damage from the War on Drugs has been compounding for decades. Black
and brown communities across America still face over-policing and
criminalization as a result of our government’s misplaced priorities.
Beto believes it’s our responsibility to remedy these injustices and help
the people and communities who have been most impacted by that misguided
war.
That’s why, in addition to legalizing marijuana and ending the War on
Drugs, Beto’s plan will:
* Grant clemency to those who are currently serving sentences for
marijuana possession.
* Build a model for marijuana regulation that is similar to how we
regulate alcohol.
* Create a licensing program that grants the majority of licenses to
produce, distribute, or sell marijuana to minority-owned businesses
and those disproportionately impacted by the War on Drugs.
* Provide “Drug War Justice Grants” to those formerly incarcerated for
nonviolent marijuana offenses after their release.

to repair its damage to black and brown communities, add your name now.
Of course, it will take time and it will take work for us to make up for
decades of punitive War on Drugs policies. That’s why Beto is starting by
embracing systemic, sweeping reforms.
Together, we can begin to right these wrongs and heal the damage.
Thank you,
Team Beto
