GET INVOLVED
Social justice and racial justice are too often missing from our criminal justice system. Nowhere is that more true than the misguided and damaging "war on drugs." Cannabis legalization in particular presents a glaring injustice, as well as an opportunity to end the unjust imprisonment of more than 40,000 Americans incarcerated for activities now widely legal. As cannabis legalization expands, cannabis prisoners must be released, have their records cleared, and be provided with reentry programs at the same time cannabis is legalized. More broadly, the entire "war on drugs" needs to end. It has caused immeasurable damage to millions of lives and been a major vehicle for systemic racial and social injustice.
We need your help. Below are the many ways you can have an impact. Thank you.
