A coalition of advocacy groups announced on Tuesday that they will be launching a signature drive to put an initiative to decriminalize marijuana, prevent the enforcement of abortion-related “crimes” and ban no-knock warrants on the San Antonio ballot next spring.
The San Antonio Justice Charter Initiative is being spearheaded by the group Act 4 SA, with support from Ground Game Texas, SA Stands and the Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC).
It’s one of the latest iterations of the local cannabis reform movement in the Lone Star State, where voters will be deciding on decriminalization at the ballot next month in Denton, Elgin, Harker Heights, Killeen and San Marcos. Ground Game also led those more narrowly tailored initiatives.
The text of the measure says that “it is the policy of the City of San Antonio to use its available resources and authority to accomplish three goals of paramount importance: first, to reduce the City’s contribution to mass incarceration; second, to mitigate racially discriminatory law enforcement practices; and third, to save scarce public resources for greater public needs.”
