During the 2020 campaign, President Biden rightly stated: “No one should be in jail because of marijuana. As President, I will decriminalize cannabis use and automatically expunge prior convictions.”
After one year in office, this promise has yet to be fulfilled. Despite having explicitly pledged to do so, there has been no progress from the Administration to advance marijuana expungements. That is why we need you to join us in urging Biden to take action to pardon those thousands of individuals who are saddled with a criminal record for a federal marijuana-related offense.

P.S. Read NORML Executive Director Erik Altieri's op-ed in The Hill calling on Biden to keep his campaign promises and expunge records HERE.
P.P.S. Our efforts are supported by thousands of people throughout the country as we work to advance marijuana reform in all 50 states and the federal level. Can you kick in $5, $10 or $20 a month to help us keep going?
