Rep. Karen Bass: “It took me many years to get over the fear of those lights coming on behind me…It was fear that my interaction with the police may result in me not surviving. This isn’t just an issue for Black men. It’s an issue for Black women as well.”

Senator Cory Booker: “After years of work in the Senate, our efforts to pair marijuana legalization with expungement and reinvestment in the communities most harmed by the War on Drugs have finally led us to today’s critical mark-up. The war on drugs has systematically targeted people of color and the poor, harmed job prospects and access to housing for our nation’s most vulnerable communities, and destroyed countless lives. The House Judiciary Committee’s decision to advance this bill is a significant step toward righting these wrongs and healing the wounds of decades of injustice.”
