Statewide Women's Day of Action/Rally & Book Delivery to OC Sheriff Sandra Hutchens
This action is part of a larger, national push (read below). Please contact [email protected] for more information.
The Women's Marijuana Movement is coordinating a nationwide Day Of Action on Oct. 5th to increase support for Proposition 19 in California, during which women all over the country will hold press conferences and rallies to spread the message that WOMEN feel cannabis legalization will make their communities safer and a better place to live, and to educate the public about the not-well-known-enough fact that marijuana is far safer than alcohol. We have a page up on our website promoting the event here: http://www.womensmarijuanamovement.org/content/yes-prop-19-day-action-oct-5-1
In California, women will hold their events outside of or near the offices of members of law enforcement who have formally come out against Prop 19, and they will deliver copies of the book "Marijuana Is Safer" to the opponents themselves. You can see the full list of opponents here: http://www.noonproposition19.com/endorsements/district-attorneys
On campuses nationwide, female students will hold events, and/or table, and distribute information about the relative safety of marijuana and talk about why they feel Prop 19 or something similar in their own state would make their communities and campuses a safer place.
And in states other than California, women will be holding press conferences, small rallies, and events to talk about how they support California's attempt to legalize and how something similar in their own state would greatly benefit them.
In all cases, we have prepared the targets for action (in California), materials for distribution, and statements to read to any media who report on the Day Of Action. Minimally, all an organizer or attendee needs to do is invite other supportive women to join them for about an hour (tops) around noon on Oct. 5. Women are welcome and encouraged to bring their children.
This Day Of Action is intended to generate broad media coverage that women support legalization, change the way people think about the misconceived harms of marijuana, and ultimately increase support among women for Prop 19. Polling is showing that while men are supportive of Prop 19, women are split. You can check out our last marijuana-related Day Of Action and tremendous press it generated here: http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/o/5559/t/4595/p/salsa/web/common/public/content?content_item_KEY=3535
Please let me know as early as possible if you're interested in organizing or attending an event for this Day Of Action, or if you have any questions. Additionally, we are open to any ideas you have that you'd like to incorporate into or use for this Day Of Action.
Thank you!

This Week's Corrupt Cop Stories
Marijuana to Be Legalized in Utah?
Share Heather's Story
| |
Dear friends: As we mentioned last week, the campaign to make the medical use of marijuana legal in the state of Arizona is at a critical juncture. With just five weeks left, they are fighting powerful people in the state who want to keep punishing patients who use the medicine they need. Last week, MPP members and email subscribers like you made it possible for us to provide the Arizona Medical Marijuana Policy Project with support for its operations. Now, we need you to dig deep to help us share a story that will make a victory in November a near certainty. The campaign has produced this 30-second ad featuring Heather Torgerson, a woman whose life was saved when she turned to medical marijuana during agonizing chemotherapy treatments. As Heather says herself in the ad, without medical marijuana she would not be here today, she would be in a grave. We want everyone in Arizona to hear Heather’s story. With your help, the campaign can put this ad on television when early voting starts next week. Please make a contribution to the campaign to help put this ad on the air. Even a contribution of $5 or $10, if made by a significant portion of this list, could expose hundreds of thousands of people to Heather’s story. If you can’t afford a contribution, please share Heather’s story in other ways – either by forwarding this email (or just the ad itself) to your friends and family in Arizona or by posting the ad on Facebook. You could even include a message in the Facebook post accompanying the video along the lines of, “If you want to help the medical marijuana campaign in Arizona air this ad, please make a contribution of $5 or more at http://stoparrestingpatients.org/home/donate ” Thanks in advance for your support. We cannot win these ballot initiative campaigns without you. Best, Steve Fox |
