Organizers of the May marijuana
marches around the planet announced this week that they had at least 150
cities signed up for the annual event, known colloquially as the Million
Marijuana March. For the past three decades, beginning in New York
City, pot activists have marched and chanted, huffed and puffed, and been
clubbed and jailed in their effort to achieve marijuana legalization.
This year, long-time lead
organizer Dana Beal is sharing the organizing duties with other activists
around the globe, especially an active group of "guys from Norway," who
have created a central web
site for would-be organizers to sign up their cities. People
interested in signing up should do so within the next two weeks so their
city can be added to the march poster, Beal told DRCNet on Wednesday.
As in past years, Europe
and North America are most heavily represented, but this year's list already
includes Capetown, South Africa, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, three Japanese
cities, and at least a dozen cities in South America. Russian organizers
have said they would hold events in 23 cities, but Beal is awaiting confirmation
of that, he said. Other confirmed locations range from Auckland,
Albuquerque and Amsterdam to Washington, Wellington, and Zurich.
The date is May 6.
