Dear friend, Let's be frank. SAM is the “little engine that could" that fights every day to safeguard public health and prevent another Big Tobacco. Faced with innumerable odds – a massive, multi-billion dollar addiction-for-profit industry against us, and few, if any, other organizations singularly focused and funded to take them on systematically – we are a little team with a big bite. That is why I am asking you to contribute to our fight against Big Marijuana. It won’t make headlines, but we have stopped eighteen pot legalization bills this year, produced the most comprehensive report on marijuana outcomes to date, published an Amazon best-seller book, passed first-of-its-kind regulatory legislation to restrict the marijuana industry in Colorado, spoke with tech and business giants one on one about the harms of this industry, overturned the 2020 ballot initiative legalizing recreational marijuana in South Dakota, assisted researchers in developing a parental education program, launched successful TikTok and Instagram pages, and had the Biden Administration implement some of our research recommendations. We’ve also conducted hundreds of webinars and talks since we went virtual. Thanks to your efforts, far more legalization bills have been defeated across the country than have passed. All of this would have been impossible without the help of dedicated supporters such as you. On this Giving Tuesday, could you pledge to help us keep up the fight as we begin to look to the new year with a tax-deductible gift today? Today, Facebook is matching the first $2 million donated to non-profits. Contribute through Facebook for a chance to double your impact.

In the middle of a pandemic, our leaders in legal states are needing to spend their energy on curbing illegal marijuana operations. Just last month, Oregon Governor Kate Brown declared a state of emergency due to rampant illegal pot production. We are at a pivotal moment in our fight against this industry. They try to outspend us, get through regulatory loopholes, and maximize commercialization. But at each step of the way, we have been there to stop the industry in its tracks. Friend, I am so thankful for you and everything you have done to help further our goal of fighting Big Pot and its addiction-for-profit scheme. Please consider continuing your support with a tax-deductible gift today. Thank you for all that you do.
