YOUR CALL TO ACTION How you can start making a difference today The National Cannabis Industry Association exists to represent the interests of legitimate and responsible cannabis-related businesses in our nation’s capital. Our core mission is to ensure that our members are treated like businesses in any other American industry. NCIA encourages our members to be politically active on all levels of government and contact your elected officials both at home and in Washington, D.C. Every year, Congress must pass appropriations legislation to fund the government for the upcoming fiscal year. Over the past two years, NCIA has been very successful lobbying members to support pro-cannabis appropriations amendments that have protected state-sanctioned medical cannabis businesses and been enacted into law. But this has to be repeated every year and there are no guaranteed victories without hard work. The appropriations “season” usually begins in the springtime, and as we get closer to votes it’s important that Congressional offices hear from you. Although it is becoming harder and harder for Congress to do basic functions (including funding the government), NCIA will continue to focus on appropriations this year. HOW TO IMPACT CHANGE Rep. Mark Amodei (R) sits on the House Appropriations Committee and recently voted against cannabis-related provisions after voting for them in years past. Be sure to contact Rep. Amodei’s office and ask for their support of the responsible and legitimate cannabis industry. TWITTER CAMPAIGN Call, write, or tweet your Representative and Senators and ask that they support the pro-cannabis amendments that will eventually be introduced during floor votes. (Once amendments are introduced, exact language will be relayed to NCIA members.) Even our supporters on Capitol Hill like to hear from you and receive encouragement. On social media, use the hashtag #CannabisCaucus and #CannabisApprops to make sure your voice is heard! Minority Leader Harry Reid Sen.
