San Antonio voters will likely end up voting on a sweeping city charter amendment in the May 6 election, with marijuana and abortion decriminalization at its center.
–
As of Tuesday, the coalition had collected more than 33,000 signatures and verified more than 18,000 of them on its own, by Tomas’ count, making it likely its petition will meet the threshold for the ballot. It would also create a new “Justice Director” position, which could not be filled by anyone with law enforcement experience.Tomas said the marijuana decriminalization aspect is the biggest reason people are signing, “but honestly, two-thirds of the folks that have signed for us are women, showing that the abortion piece is also the second most-popular option.”
“We always have the policy language on us. We have our push cards on us. Anybody that asks, we definitely want to show them. And each petition has a caption on the top of it that also says, ‘What is on this petition?’” Tomas said.
