NORML stands for freedom – not just on special occasions like today, but every day. That’s why we won’t rest until we have liberated cannabis consumers nationwide.
Thanks to supporters like you, we are closer than ever to achieving this goal. Seven in ten Americans agree that the use of cannabis should no longer be a crime, and even the President acknowledges, “No one should be jailed for using or possessing marijuana.” Twenty-four states and the District of Columbia have stopped arresting adults for marijuana possession, and voters in several additional states – including Florida – will decide on legalization ballot measures this November. This progress gives us hope for a future where cannabis freedom is a reality for all.
Yet, as the American poet Maya Angelou once said, “No one of us can be free until everybody is free.”
That’s why we are asking you now – before you head to today’s barbecue or parade – to take a moment to stand with us in our fight for cannabis freedom.
We rely on grassroots supporters like you to fund our important work. While many of you can now use cannabis legally this July 4th holiday, many others still can’t. Every year, police continue to arrest a quarter of a million of our fellow Americans for activities that are now legal and celebrated in two dozen states. It’s time we liberate the rest.
Freedom isn’t free. That is why we need your support now more than ever. Please give to NORML today, on the day we as a nation celebrate our most fundamental liberties, so that we can free all Americans from the harms of cannabis prohibition.
