The Global Cannabis March is an annual event which takes place in over 200 cities worldwide. It started in 1999, and since then over 450 different cities across the globe have held this event.
Join PhillyNORML activists and over 500 local pot smokers, law reform supporters, medical marijuana patients and doctors, and even non-smokers as we rally and protest the government's war on marijuana users.
We will meet at the southeast corner of South St. and Broad St. at 4:00PM, and between 4:20 and 4:40 we will begin the march. Our route will take us east, down south street until we reach Headhouse square. There we will rally and hear people in the movement speak about their issues, as well as provide everyone with a way to take immediate action.
Speakers:
Americans for Safe Access - Sonnet Gabbard (Field Director)
Students for Sensible Drug Policy - Amber Langston (Outreach Director)
PhillyNORML - TBA
Our other Sponsors include:
Pennsylvanians for Medical Marijuana
Marijuana Policy Project
Coalition for Medical Marijuana - New Jersey
There will be vendors selling marijuana-themed items and possibly a raffle. This is the perfect time to learn more about cannabis, the law, and how it affects you, while simultaneously seeing for yourself just how large our movement is getting, and how many of your own friends and peers are among our supporters.
This year will be the biggest one yet, and we're going to need people to help volunteer during the event. If you're interested in helping out, send an email to
co-chair@phillynorml.org.
