Dear Friends,
It's now ten years since California voters approved Proposition 215 to legalize marijuana as medicine. More than one hundred thousand people are now legal patients and almost a dozen states have followed suit.
It's now five years since Proposition 36 -- requiring treatment instead of incarceration -- entered into force in California. More than one hundred thousand people have obtained treatment instead of a jail cell, and taxpayers have saved hundreds of millions of dollars. This law now rates as the most significant sentencing reform since the repeal of alcohol Prohibition.
DPA played a pivotal role in both these victories, which put drug policy reform on the map of big league politics in the United States.
Please help us celebrate these momentous anniversaries. I know most of you can't make it to San Francisco this November 15 for the actual celebration (
https://actioncenter.drugpolicy.org/ctt.asp?u=9110&l=131896 ), but there's no better time than this to send your best wishes and add your name to the
festivities with a contribution: https://actioncenter.drugpolicy.org/ctt.asp?u=9110&l=131896
.
We will gather on November 15 at the City Club of San Francisco to celebrate these anniversaries and to honor three dear friends of DPA: philanthropists and DPA supporters John Sperling (Apollo Group) and George Zimmer (The Men's Wearhouse), and our own Marsha Rosenbaum (Safety First Project). Mayor Gavin Newsom is co-chairing the event together with Assembly Member Mark Leno and Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez.
Please make a contribution now to honor both our work and these three remarkable individuals: https://actioncenter.drugpolicy.org/ctt.asp?u=9110&l=131896 , or register to attend: https://actioncenter.drugpolicy.org/ctt.asp?u=9110&l=131896 . Every person who contributes to this event will have their name printed in the evening program.
