ASA WEBSITE SPOTLIGHTBuilding a Movement While it is true that a few individuals can accomplish a lot, it will take a strong, vibrant movement for us to achieve our ultimate goal - safe and legal access for all Americans. If your city or county is banning medical cannabis activity, you need to start a local voter and stakeholder-based movement to push back. This section will give you the tools you need to build a strong movement that will help you reach your political goals - including outreach and recruitment, volunteer and headship development, coalition building, and ASA resources to help. News What’s happening? Stay up today on local and national news with this convenient interface for the ASA blog, press release, FaceBook posts, and Twitter announcements - all in one place! |
ACTION ALERTS
Call your Members of Congress to Support the CARERS Act! (National) The CARERS Act is the most comprehensive piece of federal medical marijuana legislation ever introduced in both the U.S. House and Senate. The bill would allow state programs to continue without federal interference, move marijuana out of Schedule I, remove CBD from the scheduling, create access to banking services for legal marijuana businesses, eliminate the Public Health service review process and NIDA monopoly that block research, and allow Veterans Affairs doctors to write recommendations in states that have a medical marijuana program. Please call your two Senators and your member of Congress today to ask for their support.
Join ASA today! (National) Membership matters! Americans for Safe Access (ASA) is the nation’s leading medical cannabis patients’ advocacy organization.
