Morgan Fox is the Political Director of NORML, a voice for responsible marijuana consumers which advocates for changes in public policy regarding marijuana. He joins us to discuss the Biden administration proclamation of October 6, 2022, which provided pardons for those with federal marijuana possession convictions. At first glance the initiative seemed to be promising, but 4 months later, there is still no pardon process in place and the proclamation was less beneficial than it first appeared. New congressional legislation is needed to change marijuana laws. Morgan Fox joins us from Washington.
The following is an edited version of remarks delivered to the Black Agenda Report panel on “Russiagate: Muzzling the Black Left and the March to War,”at the Left Forum, in New York Ci
“Russia has friendly relations with Israel, and more than a million Russian Jews emigrated to Israel, but Iran is a strategic ally of Russia.”
“The Jackson police department’s actions expose them as a violent thug operation that needs to be disarmed and eventually disbanded.”
“We often reduce Black politics to integrationism vs nationalism, but freedom dreams have always been more robust and complex.”
“It is crucial for us to understand that what we feel as Black peoples provides useful data that can be turned into critical analysis.”
