Activists with various D.C.-area pro-cannabis groups rallied on the East Lawn of the Capitol on Tuesday to urge Congress to take action on marijuana legalization. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, D-D.C., was among the speakers at the event.

“It’s time for Congress got the memo, the country is already there on legalization,” Holmes Norton said.
