We will try to keep you informed of events (when we aren't hosting them
ourselves) such as: Lobby Day - Apr. 26th, Thu., 9AM at the Capital (Salem) steps. Activities include: Educational Display in the Capitol Building - Galleria, Legislative training in the Capitol Building - Room 350, Press Conference-Rally Capitol Building - Front Steps, Scheduled meetings with legislators for groups or individuals to educate legislators and show support for medical marijuana bills. Visit: "Lobby Day" for details. ... and ... Million Marijuana Marches - May 5th, Sat., High Noon at Pioneer Square. A global celebration of the benefits of cannabis. Over 100 cities so far, and more every day. There is a March happening in Eugene and we hope to spark one or two other cities before we're thru. See Newz, above. Also visit: "Million Marijuana Marches" |
| Things we can do:
* Marches, Rallies, HempFests and other such Events for raising awareness and few $. See Events for ideas. Not only do we get our days in the sun but the sign making parties and other team activities are learning & growing opportunities as well. * Put together a Film Fest. Get all the old favorites ("Reefer Madness", "Assassin of Youth") as well as the latest ("Grass", "Saving Grace", "Traffic"). Educate as well as entertain. * Hemp Fashion Show. A very good way to demonstrate the value of hemp. People are learning that hemp clothing is not only more durable and comfortable but as versatile as any other material. Find a local retailer and establish a mutually beneficial relationship. * Hemp Pot Luck. (pun intended) Get together and have a hemp food cook off. If we do it right, it could be a yearly event (like a chili feed) and draw media as well as be a tasty way to inform & educate. * Lobbying and other political action. Letter writing and calling campaigns do have an effect, especially when legislators get them in batches. Things you the individual can do: * Join up & speak out. Spread the word. See
