SAFE Banking Act Fails This Year

The SAFE Banking Act failed to get through Congress this year, with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer blaming Senate Republicans for keeping the bill from passing. Congress's failure to pass SAFE means that communities across the country are still vulnerable to crime and forced to operate as all-cash businesses. Not only that, many small cannabis businesses will still lack access to support from banks and financial institutions. We have a real problem in this country when elected officials do not uphold their primary function, which is to represent the American people.
