Cheryl
Miller
Memorial
Project
Coming
to
Washington,
DC
This
September
22-23
8/28/03
Many DRCNet readers remember
the work of Cheryl Miller, multiple sclerosis sufferer and medical marijuana
patient/activist, who with her husband Jim lobbied and shamed numerous
members of Congress and devoted countless days to the cause. Cheryl
passed away in June (https://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle-old/291/cherylmiller.shtml),
and friends and supporters from around the country, along with drug reform
organizations, are holding a two-day memorial event in Washington, DC this
September 22-23.
Cheryl's days will begin
at 7:00am on Monday the 22nd, with a Memorial Table at the US Supreme Court.
Sometime later to be announced, MS patients will visit the National Capital
MS Society office. A half hour before sunset (roughly 6:30-7:00pm
EDT), the candlelight vigil will commence, an event Cheryl had always talked
about but never gotten to do herself. Then on Tuesday morning, 10:30am,
there will be a press conference at the Rayburn House Office Building,
after which patients and supporters will lobby Congress.
Whether you can make it to
Washington next month, please visit http://www.cheryldcmemorial.org
for further information on what's going on, for things you can do in your
own communities, or to make a donation to the project. DRCNet is
a cosponsor of the event, and we will see you there!
