Dear Friend,
It’s 4/20, the holiday celebrating marijuana (but you knew that). From New York to California, and in the 16 other states where marijuana has been fully legalized, there will be celebrations, thanks to activists like you.
Yet, while the US House recently passed the MORE Act, in the eyes of the federal government, marijuana remains illegal, and cruel and unjust drug war policies still impact all of us, especially people of color and those experiencing poverty. That’s why, now, we need the Senate to act. While I hope you celebrate today – I urge you to take action for marijuana justice now.
Help our advocates engage with federal policymakers to move the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act forward in the Senate, remove marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act, retroactively remove and expunge past federal offenses and remove all federal consequences for state level marijuana convictions.
Let’s make 4/20 not only a day of celebration, but a day to fight for equity and justice.
