Values
Better Organizing to Win Legalization works to unify the public, interest groups, and policymakers behind a comprehensive approach to marijuana legalization and justice for those who have been harmed under its criminalization.
Better Organizing to Win Legalization will build common cause with organizations and policymakers of all stripes who agree that:
- We must end the prohibition and criminalization of marijuana
- We must expunge the criminal records of those who are held back in life as the result of a cannabis conviction
- We must invest the economic benefits that come with legalization into the regions which have been disproportionately targeted by the war on drugs, particularly communities of color
- We must end arbitrarily discriminatory and non-scientific drug testing policies that prevent 12-15% of Americans from being able to fully participate in our society via employment
As a non-profit with a sister political organization simply known as BOWL PAC, Better Organizing to Win Legalization focuses on the slow boring of bringing together ideologically diverse stakeholders who are interested in common goals when it comes to marijuana policy reform.
In an era of a weaponized filibuster, if we don’t work together, millions will still continue to be arrested alone.
