On the heels of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s plan to decriminalize weed and reduce the amount of people who are locked-up for small amounts of marijuana, Colorofchange.org and drugpolicy.org have launched a massive campaign in the final weeks of the legislative session to win reform on the measure.
STORY: Cuomo To The Rescue! NY Governor Plans On Decriminalizing Weed
Which is why today, Color of Change has dropped an online advocacy campaign featuring powerful video testimonials from people who have been illegally searched and falsely charged for marijuana possession in New York City.
NYPD’s illegal marijuana arrest policy has impacted over 50,000 people every year who are falsely charged and arrested for marijuana possession.
We are urging you to take action now, by telling the NY Legislature to stop unlawful, racially-biased marijuana arrests.
You can help by signing the petition on Colorofchange.org and visit drugpolicy.org for more information.
