I can leave posters at all kinds of clubs throughout the U.S.I travel with Universal recording artist One Less Reason,for instance this weekend @ the Kelsey club (west palm beach) the Social (Orlando).It would be good advertisement and I don't mind plastering them everywhere!

Everyone that is thinking of organizing or being at a rally should definatly watch these shows.
Even if you aren't, watch them anyways!

DML is THE best example of an activist I have ever seen.

Hi all,
I'm not that familliar with computers so please make sure you get in touch with me march@cannabisculture.com with your personal contact info
- or better yet, call me at 604-684-7076

As for the flyers,
For those of you who have access to a printer, we plan to have something available online to download as soon as possible.

Some large posters will be printed up by us and sent out to as many organizers as I have addresses for.

Start making your own banners soon and get people to make posters for the rally by announcing a contest for best sign as David suggests in "How To Put On A Pot Rally"
This year we have to spell it out for joe public.People are confused about what's going on with the laws.The posters should be colorfull but at the same time filled with short bites of real information that people can take home with themselves (and then they told two friends and so on and so on...) instead of just a snicker and a leer about the potheads smokin up the park hopefully they will have learned something.

ok

thats all for now

Is anyone organizing in London Ontario? Or should we head to Windsor, Hamilton, or Toronto?

I couldn't organize one myself, but does Kamloops already have a rally planned, or will our people be better off heading for the coast?
I know Kamloops isn't that big of a place, but I sure know that there are a lot of pro-pot-people in our wide-spread area.

There's a rough copy of a "Canadian Stats" pamphlet in the "counter-counterspin" forum. Someone could snazz it up and print out a copy - but if not I'll get around to it.

More Canadian stats can be found here:

I'm currently working on a newspaper ad that will deal with the Supreme Court ruling, the Liberals "decrim" bill and the next stage of pot activism - stay tuned.

In the mean time, check out the PTV shows above, and the following "How to put on a pot rally" article - now online:

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here (or Private Mail me if you like).

Hello, Christina from B.C. here.

I'm working for Marc Emery as coordinator/motivator for this year's Global Marijuana March.

Last year Marc and Cannabis Culture sent promotional items and posters to as many rally organizers in north america as we could get in touch with.

We plan to do so again this year.

Please feel free to let us know what else there is that we can possibly do to help with your event.

Thank you.

So far, 116 Cities are Signed up for 2004 .


MAYDAY IS JAY-DAY!


(This year, the first Saturday of May falls on May 1. We are recommending Sunday, May 2 or Monday May 3 in cities where there is significant conflict with other local events--or as a rain date. Of course, we understand that some schools have to do it on 4/20 because their school year is over by May, and that some northern cities have to do it a little later in May...)

Help us reach our goal of 300 cities worldwide!


To get on the poster for 2004--"Mayday is Jay Day"--check yr contact info and email me back telling me to addyr city to the List at the top of this email. By the way, I lost about three weeks email not long after last year's event, and have had intermittent email service since that time.. Did anything happen on the first Saturday of May in your area? Numbers? Arrests? Media? Anything of interest happen, etc?


You can also call me at 212-677-4899--or leave a message on212-677-7180.

P.S.: We are also interested in adding to our list of prestigious endorsers, which consists of pot activists well-known in their city orcountry. We need a name and phone number for each. Any suggestions?


P.P.S: We need on average $100 for each affiliate to print and ship this year's poster. If you can't send it, we have toraise it somewhere else.



HELP RAISE MONEY FOR THE MILLION MARIJUANA MARCH--BOOK A YIPPIE SPEAKER!

Recently we wrote you that we need on average $100 for each affiliate to print and ship this year's poster--and that if you can't sendit, we have to raise it somewhere else.

You can help. Go to http://www.yippiespeakers.com Here's thegood news: 20% of all speaker fees go to printing and operating expenses for the MMM 2004. (If you can get me booked personally it's 100%.)

Some of these speakers like Grace Slick and Hunter Thompson get $25,000 just for appearing at yr local university! (Some like Dennis Peron are available for a few thousand) Your local group gets 4%finders' fee.

What we need you to do is contact yr local on-campus activists andhave them agitate their student affairs folks in charge of outside speakers (or equivalent) to book some of our speakers. It's important to clarify that we are NOT asking them to get thisfrom the budget of their NORML or SSDP chapter, but from the campus office that books outside speakers. (At Kent State they call it theOffice of Student Life, and they paid me $4,000 for a three hour appearance, which went straight to the printer.)

It's a good year for it. Things have come full-circle for Yippie! We have all the elements--an illegitimate Republican President everyone hates at home, a quagmire war abroad--for the first time since the '70's. And best of all, even though all our speakers support cannabis and oppose the drug war, they are Yippie, not legalization speakers, so you won't have to deal with demands from the university administration that you find some anti-drug speaker for "Balance"or you don't get the booking. (Since we are moving toward protests against the Republican Convention in NYC next August, to be fairthey'd have to demand an opponent of protests, period, which is absurd.)


If you have a hot prospect, email me right back; but since about half of everything sent to this address "bounces", besure to also put in a call to the speakers bureau at 212-677-7180, andleave a message if no one picks up.

you can count on my surport in vancouver and or the island

Great Idea here people, Count me in to help out with the Calgary March. Lets see if we can open some eyes on this issue.
