[Excerpt Harris I thank ░░░░░░░░ Fat Joe for for ░░░░░░░░ here and and taking ░░░░░░░░ time but really for ░░░░░░░░ voice on so many ░░░░░░░░ issues So I will ░░░░░░░░ that I believe that ░░░░░░░░ promise of America includes ░░░░░░░░ justice under the law ░░░░░░░░ for too many our ░░░░░░░░ justice system has failed ░░░░░░░░ live up to that ░░░░░░░░ principle And I say ░░░░░░░░ with full knowledge of ░░░░░░░░ this system has worked ░░░░░░░░ my experience as a ░░░░░░░░ And I challenge other ░░░░░░░░ to follow his lead ░░░░░░░░ have gra gathered today ░░░░░░░░ to address specifically the ░░░░░░░░ that we have seen ░░░░░░░░ federal marijuana policy I ░░░░░░░░ said many times I ░░░░░░░░ I think we all ░░░░░░░░ this table believe nobody ░░░░░░░░ have to go to ░░░░░░░░ for smoking weed And ░░░░░░░░ we need to do ░░░░░░░░ recognize that far too ░░░░░░░░ people have been sent ░░░░░░░░ jail for simple marijuana ░░░░░░░░ And the impact is ░░░░░░░░ that in particular black ░░░░░░░░ and Latinos are four ░░░░░░░░ more likely four times ░░░░░░░░ likely to be arrested ░░░░░░░░ for marijuana possession and ░░░░░░░░ disparity is even larger ░░░░░░░░ you talk about the ░░░░░░░░ of black men and ░░░░░░░░ men.”
