THE PROCLAMATION FOR JUSTICE

Mission Green is reaching out directly to President Biden with a plea. In its recent proclamation, Mission Green is asking President Biden to follow the examples of Presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter by:

Issuing a categorial pardon for individuals who have been convicted of federal, non-violent marijuana offenses and who are not currently incarcerated on those offenses.

Issuing a general pardon and commuting the sentences for individuals who are federally incarcerated on non-violent, marijuana-only offenses for activity no longer considered criminal.

President Biden shares our concern and frustration around this issue. In November 2019, during a Democratic Primary Debate, he stated: “I think we should decriminalize marijuana, period. And I think everyone—anyone who has a record—should be let out of jail, their records expunged, be completely zeroed out.” He was right then and remains right today.

THE CALL FOR ACTION – THREE THINGS YOU CAN DO

CONTACT THE WHITE HOUSE

Contact the White House and let them know you support releasing all individuals sentenced to prison for non-violent marijuana offenses and fully pardoning anyone with a nonviolent marijuana felony conviction. Tell them relief from the federal war on marijuana would not only be just, it also would be good for public safety and the economy.
