The MORE Act has been reintroduced in Congress 🎉. It is time to end the criminalization of marijuana and fix the harms caused by America’s failed drug war.

My op Ed in the WSJ on how Dems can fight and win on immigration, and really take on Trump's cruel and inhumane policies towards immigrants.

On Juneteenth, I proudly announced the next steps Maryland will take on the work of repair, including launching our first round of Just Communities designations.

I will also use my constitutional powers to sign an additional 7,000 pardons for cannabis possession and paraphernalia convictions – marking over 182,000 cannabis convictions pardoned since I took office.

The criminal justice system should be rooted in safety, fairness, dignity, & accountability.

These are the foundation of a new set of bipartisan principles for CJ policy change CAP developed with leading organizations across the political spectrum: https://t.co/lFSvJBbL2h

.@MaryMoriarty is a brilliant & fair prosecutor committed to reforming our deeply flawed legal system.

The Trump Admin’s recently-launched investigation into Moriarty’s office is a calculated attack on local democracy.

[CAP Early Childhood @CAPEarlyEd]

As families still struggle to find & afford child care, lawmakers are looking for solutions. But deregulating care is a misguided approach that risks worsening conditions for educators & endangering kids.

This #SecondChanceMonth, both the bipartisan Clean Slate Act and Fresh Start Act were reintroduced in Congress. By giving millions of Americans a chance to rebuild their lives, these bills will break down barriers to reentry and improve public safety. https://t.co/hfIUPNNq6y

[Rep. Lucy McBath @RepLucyMcBath]

Today, I'm proud to introduce the Clean Slate Act alongside a group of bipartisan colleagues.

Americans who serve their time and work to rebuild their lives should not be limited by their past.

Our bill reflects a simple but powerful truth: people deserve a second chance.

Reentry resources offer an important lifeline for youth and young adults impacted by the legal system. When we invest in education, mental health, and job training for young people, we're investing in safer communities and brighter futures. https://t.co/Llw0ZgB6JY

[CAP on Criminal Justice @CAPonCJ]

A record can be devastating for young adults like Rasheed. His story sheds light on the barriers that so many young adults face when returning to their communities and the opportunities that second chance policies can provide #SecondChanceMonth

The Trump #DOJ’s decision to terminate funding for @verainstitute sends a clear message: Safety and justice are not priorities for this administration.

Vera’s work improves public safety in communities across the country. We need this now more than ever.
