John,
Marijuana criminalization has been used as a tool to incarcerate and oppress communities of color. According to the ACLU, Black Americans are 3.6 times more likely to be arrested than white Americans despite similar consumption rates.
That’s why Our Revolution is thrilled that the Senate is considering marijuana reform as part of the end-of-the-year legislative session, including expungements for previous convictions and normalizing adult-use programs now active in 21 states by providing access to banking.
Our Revolution groups fought hard to pass marijuana legalization proposals in Arizona, New Jersey, and other states, and now we need your help to demand the Senate take action nationally.
Click here to call on Congress to take action on marijuana before the end of the year! Not only is marijuana’s demonized status a tool for racial oppression, but a path toward decriminalization is the rare issue in America that has bipartisan support.
With nearly 7 in 10 Americans supporting decriminalization, now is the time to take action.
Tell your Congressperson to act on righting the wrongs of the failed drug war! When we organize, we win!
Our Revolution
