Cannabis Reform Meeting
September 10, 2012, 7pm
Calvary St. Andrew's Presbyterian Parish
68 Ashland St, Rochester, NY
Whether hemp or marijuana, there are many reasons to decriminalize cannabis. Hemp can be used as a food, clothing fiber, biofuel, and much more, while marijuana can be used medically. Join us as we learn more about these initiatives from our guest speaker.
Sarah Via is Director of Communications for Moms for Marijuana International. She is also the representative for New York State Moms as well as Western NY Moms and a member of the Cannabis Quilt project set to be unveiled in DC this fall. She is the mother of two grown children, 20 and 23.
Calvary-St. Andrews is a wheelchair accessible facility. If ASL or other interpretation is needed please contact Drew at peaceandrainbows@riseup.net at least 48 hours before the event.
Campaign Updates
Drew Langdon for State Assembly
Next week, we will know who Drew's Democratic opponent will be in the 137th Assembly District, after which the campaign will be ramping up its outreach. The campaign has placed orders for campaign lawn signs and will be distributing them soon. If you'd like to help pay for these and other expenses like fliers, find out how to donate at http://drewlangdon.org/?page_id=20. Campaign t-shirts are available with a donation of at least $20 or through the sharing of your time.
Jill Stein for President/Cheri Honkala for Vice President
The Stein/Honkala campaign made huge strides in the last week with the airing of their first campaign ad during the Democratic National Convention. Jill and Cheri have also been a large part of the protests at both the Republican and Democratic conventions over the last two weeks. Go tojillstein.org to stay up to date.
