Mall Cops Gone Wild News Conference and March

Last Saturday, 28-year-old Jake Gailey was shopping with his girlfriend in an Aurora (CO) mall when security guards stopped and harassed him because he was wearing a "Yes We Cannabis" T-shirt. The mall cops told Jake he had to remove the shirt, turn it inside-out, or exit the mall because it's reference to marijuana legalization was offensive. When Jake expressed his opinion that he ought to be allowed to wear the shirt he was cited for trespassing and banned from the mall for one year. [Visit http://www.tinyurl.com/2uu2jv6 to read the entire story on the Westword blog.] To protest this ridiculous action by the Town Center at Aurora, SAFER is organizing a march inside the mall in which supporters will all be wearing "Cannabis/Can o' Beer" SAFER T-shirts. Please join and/or help us by coming out and spreading the word. If you come, please wear a "Cannabis/Can o' Beer" SAFER T-shirt -- we will also have some shirts available for people to borrow. If you are not in Colorado or cannot make it, please visit the mall owners' feedback form at http://tinyurl.com/pc3hb and send them a stern -- yet courteous -- message that this type of behavior is unacceptable.
