[Drug Policy Alliance]( [TELL PRESIDENT BIDEN TO DECRIMINALIZE MARIJUANADEADLINE: 11:59PM E.T. >>]( Dear Mother Jones Reader, If you care about ending marijuana criminalization, please keep reading. Because today is your last chance to tell our government to do the right thing. [We’re asking you to take one minute and tell the Biden Administration that you support federal marijuana decriminalization and ending the drug war.]( The Drug Policy Alliance (DPA) is the leading organization in the U.S. working to end the drug war and repair the decades of damage it has caused. And right now, we need allies like you to join the fight. The Biden Administration’s Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has proposed moving marijuana from Schedule I (most restrictive) to Schedule III (less restrictive) — and the public comment period closes at 11:59 P.M. E.T. [Don’t wait another moment: use DPA’s tool to tell the White House that rescheduling is not enough – it keeps marijuana federally illegal! After decades of this failed war, we demand full federal decriminalization.]( [TAKE ACTION NOW]( Here’s the truth: the current rescheduling proposal isn’t enough. Rescheduling would symbolically acknowledge marijuana’s low risk and medical value. And it would provide tax breaks to marijuana businesses. But criminalization and its lasting harms to our communities would remain in place. Rescheduling means people could still be jailed or deported for marijuana. They could still lose access to food stamps for a marijuana offense. And they could lose their jobs or even custody of their children for a marijuana offense. All of which will disproportionately hurt Black and Brown communities. President Biden has repeatedly promised to end federal marijuana criminalization. But now, his administration is failing to follow through on those promises with this proposal. [It’s up to people like you to hold them accountable. Tell the Biden administration to fully decriminalize marijuana. We can’t settle for rescheduling. You only have today to add your voice to the fight.]( [DEMAND FEDERAL DECRIMINALIZATION]( Our leaders need to hear from as many people as possible in this moment. Don’t miss your chance to take action and fight for an end to the drug war.
