HB 3112 (Cannabis Equity Act)
Needs Your Help!

Good Afternoon,

We’re reaching out today because WE NEED YOUR HELP advocating for HB 3112 (the Oregon Cannabis Equity Act), one of our priority pieces of legislation this year that’s up for a Work Session TOMORROW!

In order to make sure lawmakers understand the importance of this piece of legislation, we’re calling on our folks to take a brief moment out of their day to take TWO specific pieces of action to help get this bill passed!

Actions You Can Take TODAY To Support This Bill:

1. Sign A Letter To Lawmakers In Support Of The Bill

This one is an easy and fast action item that folks can take in order to convey their support for this bill to members of the House Judiciary Committee – and that’s by signing a brief letter to the folks on the committee.

In fact, the folks from the Cannabis Equity PAC have even put together a very easy-to-complete web form on their website that makes the process very simple, and takes only a couple of minutes to complete.

Letter-writing is an EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE way of communicating to the members of this committee that this bill needs to be moved out of committee with a do-pass recommendation – and it will go a long way toward it’s passage.

Please go to the Cannabis Equity PAC’s website now and complete the form to send in YOUR letter of support to help get this bill passed into law!
