Join the 11:12 Effort | Speak Up for Responsible Hemp Regulation

Proposed federal policies could remove most legal hemp products from the market on November 12 (11/12). Whether you are part of the hemp industry or someone who values access to hemp products, your voice can help make a difference.

To help protect responsible hemp regulation, supporters across the country are participating in the 11:12 effort,  a coordinated moment to raise awareness and ask Congress for a two-year extension so lawmakers have time to create thoughtful, science-based rules.

How to Participate

1. Contact Congress: Take one minute to ask Congress to support a two-year extension so responsible regulations can be developed  👉 Contact Congress HERE

2. Share Your Story on Social Media: Tell people why hemp matters to you. Personal stories help lawmakers understand the real people and communities affected by these decisions. Use this suggested caption template to make posting easy.

3. Tag Your Members of Congress: Make sure your elected officials see voices from their communities. Tag @hemproundtable and use the campaign hashtags: #1112StopTheBan,  #ProtectLegalHemp, #EmailYourRepresentative

Every Voice Matters

Farmers, small businesses, workers, and consumers across the country rely on legal hemp products. When policymakers hear directly from individuals, it helps them understand what’s truly at stake.

Your voice and your story can help protect the future of responsible hemp regulation.
