Marijuana criminalization has been a tool of systemic racism used to oppress communities of color.

That’s why my bill to decriminalize marijuana, the MORE Act, is so important.

The Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment, and Expungement (MORE) Act is the most comprehensive and most progressive marijuana reform bill ever introduced in Congress. Co-sponsored in the Senate by vice president-elect Kamala Harris, the MORE Act is backed by a broad coalition of civil rights, criminal justice, drug policy, and immigration groups.

After years of work, the bill will finally get a vote in the full House on Friday, and I need your help.

Sign here to demand that Congress move forward with the MORE Act and stop letting draconian drug laws serve as an excuse to oppress our black and brown neighbors. [[link removed]]ADD YOUR NAME [[link removed]]

Here’s what my bill — which is popular amongst voters across the political spectrum — would do: 1.
Provide
much-needed
relief
to
the
communities
that
have
been
ravaged
by
the
racist
enforcement
of
marijuana
prohibition.
2.
Remove
marijuana
from
the
Controlled
Substances
Act,
which
decriminalizes
it
at
the
federal
level
and
enables
states
to
set
their
own
policies,
paving
the
way
for
medical
research.
3.
The
existing
state-legal
marijuana
industry
will
finally
be
able
to
access
financial
services
and
standard
tax
treatment
available
to
all
legal
businesses.
4.
Provides
a
roadmap
for
states
to
legalize
marijuana
in
a
just
and
equitable
way.

Add your name here to demand that every single Congressperson vote yes on the MORE Act on Friday! [[link removed]]

Onward,
