All Souls Procession

AZ4NORML Day of the Dead Contingent


All Souls Procession

When: Sunday November 8th, 2009 Gather at 5pm-9pm
Where: Epic Café Fourth Ave. and University Blvd.
To: Franklin Street loading docks
More event info here

AZ4Norml would like to have a walking contingent in the Dia De Los Muertos Parade on Sunday November 8th. Our group will mourn the Deaths caused by War on Drugs, we should have a banner or a symbol of our grief for our contingent to carry.

Any ideas are welcome.

We should also see about getting the names of the victims printed on slips of paper to place in the Urn, this act should be as showy as possible.

We could also make an “Offrenda”. An Offrenda is an altar like memorial dedicated to the deceased in the hopes of easing our pain and giving the living a totem to care for in the absence of the departed. Offrendas should be very personal, testimonies to the human traits that made the departed unique and important to us. In a case where many people are remembered, it is customary to highlight the trait they all shared. I believe that ours should feature cannabis and the fact that when citizens are killed by the police during an arrest it is murder.

Any ideas are welcome.

We have 4 weeks to get prepared. Volunteers can call Chad, volunteer coordinator. 795-1818

Tom , instigation, agitation and muckraking coordinator. 790-6772.

Judgement Day by: Michelle Graye

Dear friends of MPP:

>MPP launches medical marijuana initiative in Arizona..


Fresh off our winning ballot initiative campaigns in Michigan and Massachusetts, the Marijuana Policy Project has just launched a campaign to pass a statewide medical marijuana ballot initiative campaign in Arizona.

If passed in November 2010, the initiative would protect Arizona patients from arrest and jail for using marijuana with their doctors' recommendation. This would make Arizona the 14th medical marijuana state (or possibly the 15th, 16th, or even 17th, depending on what successes we have between now and then).

We're feeling good about this campaign because in November we passed a similar initiative in Michigan with a whopping 63% of the vote — and we know we can do it again in Arizona.

But the first thing we need to do is get the initiative placed on the ballot. To do that, we must collect 153,365 valid signatures from Arizona voters, which means we need to collect about 250,000 gross signatures. We know from our past successful signature drives, like in Michigan, that it costs about $2 to collect every signature (because of the costs of paying canvassers, checking validity, and so forth), which means it will take $500,000 to fund this stage of the campaign.

Want to be part of this exciting campaign and help protect another state's medical marijuana patients from arrest and jail? Please donate what you can here.

As you can see at the bottom of this message, a major philanthropist is willing to match your donation dollar-for-dollar, so we only need you and other MPP members to donate a total of $250,000. Arizona patients and I are grateful for anything you can do to help.

Sincerely,

Rob Kampia Executive Director Marijuana Policy Project Washington, D.C.



NORML
