We have never had so many people contact us this early about the WMM here in Washington DC. Thank you, and also thank High Times Magazine and SSDP for hooking us up. The 2009 Worldwide Marijuana March is being held in over 200 cities around the world.
The purpose of this demonstration is to protest marijuana prohibition peacefully. The people who organize these events worldwide are mostly volunteers like myself who want to stand up and say that we deserve Equality and Respect in our communities. Together with other cities around the world we are protesting on the same day as a mass protest in different locations. Just think, everywhere you go in the world there are people like us, Stoner's, Hippies and Potheads.
People who just want to experience just a little more of the freedom in this world that we live in.
Here in Washington DC, activists are making tentative plans for a march, rally and concert pending permit approval by the National Park Service and the Metropolitan Police Department. The march begins at12:00 noon in Lafayette Park (North Side Of The White House) with a short rally before we start marching (North) on the side Walk of 16th Street to the entrance of Meridian Hill Park (Euclid & 16th Street NW) where the march ends around 2:00pm.
After the march, a rally and concert will be held from 2:00-6:00pm in Meridian Hill Park.
Organizations supporting Drug Policy Reform are needed for this part of the demonstration. As we get closer to the WMM we will need your help distributing posters, postcards and flyers to promote the big day. These materials can be picked up on weekdays near the Takoma Park Metro.
A few mass communications from around the world will also be sent by groups and activists in other locations through the 2007 GMM website. The postings from the different cities are very interesting because you begin to see that there are people just like us everywhere in the world and what kind of struggles they have on their hands. http://www.globalmarijuanamarch.org
