I’m stepping up, will you?

Dear fellow freedom enthusiasts,

Many of our political leaders continue to take regressive actions when it comes to addressing drug policy reform, fighting mass incarceration, and upholding the civil liberty of adults who enjoy smoking pot responsibly. Rather than being frustrated and angry, I want action. That’s why I’m inspired to challenge like-minded citizens (like you, I hope) to join me in an exciting initiative.

In the coming weeks, I will match dollar for dollar every donation our NORML supporters can give before the midterm elections, up to $50,000 to empower NORML to educate the public on the benefits of legalization and to fight back against our failed prohibition.

Join me and make an investment in our future now

With voters in several states deciding on marijuana legalization initiatives this fall, the stakes of this coming election could not be higher. Together, we can raise $100,000 in the coming months to help legalize marijuana in the USA.

We’re closer to victory than ever before; now is the time to stand together and fight for justice and liberty. Please, double the impact of your gift by joining me in this important initiative.
