If the Senate also passes the MORE Act, we can finally decriminalize
marijuana and end the draconian policies that have incarcerated millions.

But here’s the biggest challenge we face: Mitch McConnell has openly
criticized this bill and hasn’t responded yet whether he’d allow a vote in
the Senate. It’s going to take an overwhelming show of support these next
days to convince McConnell.

grassroots power to ensure a vote. Will you sign our petition and let your
Senators know that you support the decriminalization of marijuana?SIGN THE

In the 1970s, the federal government started a war. They called it the War
on Drugs, but the truth is that it was really a war on people — very
particular people.

In fact, it is now widely accepted that our federal government flooded
communities with drugs, laundered the profits, then cracked down on the
victims by arresting and convicting them. In the 40+ years since, tens of
millions of people, predominantly from communities of color, have been
victims of this war – caught up in prison, their permanent records forever
stained by senseless convictions for non-violent drug crimes.

Thanks to Real Justice District Attorneys like Chesa Boudin and Larry
Krasner — we’ve made significant progress in recent years around
decriminalization and drug reform. From leading efforts to drop existing
charges for marijuana possession in Philadelphia, to passing policies that
focus on rehabilitation versus incarceration in San Francisco, we’re proud
of the hard work these DA’s have done to get us to this point.

We know though that there are still a lot of communities where reform
hasn’t reached yet. In 2018, 608,775 people were arrested for marijuana
possession, despite the fact that many states have already decriminalized
the drug. Passing the MORE Act will be an impactful catalyst in ending the
discriminatory and unjust policies that for too long have
disproportionately affected communities of color in our country.

the job and make sure the Senate votes to pass the MORE Act — can you add
your name today?ADD YOUR NAME

Thank you for your support,
Team Real Justice
