Friend,
Marijuana reforms are impacting more and more states, with decriminalization and legalization pushes seeing success again and again. The problem is, the federal government has yet to get with the times. We are still stuck in the past — and the effects of these backwards policies are still affecting communities of color.
We need to push to decriminalize marijuana at the national level. Not only that, but we need to expunge past marijuana-related offenses. Harsh crackdowns on marijuana have led to a high rate of arrests for possession in minority communities. It’s time to take steps to address this injustice — and a great step forward is the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act.
Will you add your name and tell Congress to pass the MORE Act immediately?
We need to make sure that the communities that were targeted by the War on Drugs have a chance to participate in the growing marijuana industry. If we don't expunge these records, that simply won’t happen. While we can’t correct the injustice, we can make sure that justice is done in the future. Will you sign today and make it clear that America is ready for marijuana decriminalization?
