Bailout for Big Pot!
Tucked in to the COVID-19 aid bill recently passed by the US House of Representatives is the "SAFE Banking Act (also known as the VAPE Banking Act), which is a massive giveaway to Big Pot that would allow the marijuana industry access to the country's financial system and billions in institutional investment.
We know this desperate attempt to pass the VAPE Banking Act has almost zero chance of surviving in the Senate, but we must raise the alarm and let everyone know how the pot industry is trying to co-opt this crisis to its own gain.
Please share this video far and wide through your social media channels using the hashtag "#NotEssential".
Please send an urgent message to your senators telling them
NO BAILOUT FOR BIG POT!
