John, when Biden recently pardoned thousands of people who were convicted for marijuana possession under federal law, he got an immense amount of praise from the legalization community.
And while it was an incredible first step that many of us fought for, it was far from enough.
The pardons impacted only a fraction of those with marijuana related charges because so many of those charges are on the state and local level.
So let’s talk about a real, more comprehensive solution.
We need more District Attorneys who will stop prosecuting marijuana offenses and also expunge prior offenses — and that’s not only a hope for the future but something we’ve been working toward for the past five years.
Our DAs have vacated over 80,000 past marijuana convictions in states where it is legal, including in Los Angeles, Chicago, and San Francisco.
Many of our DAs have also stopped prosecuting marijuana offenses in states where it's not legal, including
This is the real work that is going to get folks out of jail and out of fines they don’t deserve. NO ONE deserves to be criminalized and have their housing and employment put at-risk for a plant that is making investors millions.
To make sure we have even more DAs ready to fight back, stop prosecuting people for marijuana convictions and undo the harms of the past by adding to the 80,000 vacated marijuana convictions, we need your help.
It’s time we destigmatize marijuana once and for all — and that starts with having DAs to back up the legal fight.
In solidarity,
Real Justice
