  • Legalizeitnow Nia Roberts Agnes Scott College WDC 618
    #LegalizeItNow Nia Roberts Agnes Scott College WDC 618 – Technologies of Social Change Dr. Mina Ivanova Overview The push to legalize cannabis has been trending in the U.S. since the 1960s when recreational marijuana use started becoming popular. The shift caused the political and cultural climate surrounding cannabis to become more lenient, giving way to increased images and references of marijuana in popular culture and subsequently causing the formation of pro-cannabis advocacy groups and organizations. Currently, however, the only types of activism taking place to support the decriminalization of cannabis in the U.S. consists of lobbying by nonprofit organizations, such as NORML and the Drug Policy Alliance, and festivals like the Boston Freedom Rally, the Global Marijuana March and the Seattle Hempfest. While each method of activism serves as a valid form of celebrating human rights, educating individuals on the harmful impacts of criminalizing cannabis and advocating for fair federal- and state-level cannabis laws, examples of formal online activism is noticeably absent. Currently, organizations are pushing to gain support for The Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment, and Expungement (MORE) Act, a bipartisan legislation that removes marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act, thus decriminalizing the substance at the federal level and enabling states to set their own policies. In December 2020, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the MORE Act. If approved by the Senate, the bill will: • Expunge prior convictions related to marijuana • Tax cannabis products at 5% to fund criminal and social reform projects • Prohibit the denial of any federal public benefits, such as housing, as a result of marijuana use and/or possession.

    July 31, 2015 To Whom It May Concern: Promote Your Business with Lavoce’s Directory! Welcome to the preliminary edition of Lavoce’s Directory! Lavoce: We Are People Too, Inc. (Lavoce) is proud to present the first international directory for Goths, tattoo artists, sKateboarders, and others who live alternative lifestyles, or anyone whose clothing is outside the norm. This directory has more categories than any other online Goth directory. This is the most comprehensive directory available because being Goth affects all aspects of life. Our commitment is driven by the need to help Goths, and others who looK outside the norm, to feel safe to be themselves in their day-to-day jobs. This directory is the first and only directory of employers who hire people from alternative lifestyles. It has the potential to connect those who feel alone in this world to established organizations and areas of the world where Goths feel more accepted. It will build sustaining partnerships with existing organizations and revitalize the community by helping new organizations grow. Lavoce will also support Goth jobseeKers to promote job sKills training and worKplace etiquette. If you are seeing this, then you are an employer that seems open to hiring people from alternative lifestyles. I am writing to encourage your company to come forward as an openminded employer. The entries in this directory are gray because they have only been proposed but have not yet been confirmed or paid. I have included your company’s link in the first edition of this directory, but will need further information from you going forward.
