Dear friend,

Earlier this week, Attorney General nominee Merrick Garland said that our country needs to equalize the ratio between how we treat crack and powder cocaine. We agree—and we need your help to end the disparity!

Will you take one minute to call your senators at 844-899-8819 and tell them that we need to treat crack and powder cocaine cases equally?

Crack cocaine and powder cocaine are two forms of the same drug. Despite this, under federal law we impose the same harsh penalties for the possession of one amount of crack cocaine and an amount of powder cocaine that is 18 times larger. Treating these drugs differently is unfair and not based on evidence.

That's why Sens. Cory Booker and Dick Durbin introduced the Equal Act, which would end this sentencing disparity and apply the equal penalties retroactively. Support for this change is building, but we need your help for it to pass!

Please call your senators today at 844-899-8819. You can use the script below if you'd like:

My name is first name I'm calling to ask that your senators support the Equal Act. There is no reason to treat crack and powder cocaine differently, and doing so has an especially harmful impact on Black and poor communities. Inequality like this can cause people to lose trust and respect for the criminal justice system, making everyone less safe.
