Urge Your California State Senator to Support AB 2279!

[Jimbo]

Americans for Safe Access (ASA) and the state legislature recently moved another step further towards securing employment rights for California medical marijuana patients. The Senate Judiciary Committee passed AB 2279 on a 3-2 vote. AB 2279, authored by Assemblymember Mark Leno and sponsored by ASA, now moves to the senate floor and we need you to urge your senator to support medical cannabis patients’ rights!
The California Supreme Court ruled in Ross v. RagingWire that an employee using medical marijuana with a doctor's recommendation may be fired solely because of his/her status as a medical cannabis patient. Now, it’s up to the legislature to pass AB 2279 to protect California patients’ right to work.
After passing the full Assembly and the Senate Judiciary Committee, AB 2279 now must clear the Senate floor before heading to the Governor's desk!
ASA staff, working with other organizations, unions, and advocates, will be working hard over the next several days to educate state legislators about this important bill. We need your help today to ensure passage!
