Help Free Dana Beal... Founder of MMM

The Million Marijuana March has been going since 73 when Yippies Dana Beal and Cures-Not-Wars started it in NYCity. Since then it has spread world wide in over 230 cities from a hundred people to several thousand. I call it the Global Ganja Gathering or just 3M, this year it will be May 2, 2009. Usually in SF its a day of hemp booths and speakers, music, food and a March @ 4:20. Not much mainstream press and usually not a lot of harassment unless its an election year or you act like its legal and taunt the cops. Thats S.F. - Okies might call the National Guard...



4.20.9 @ 4:20

May 1st is the International Day of protest.

Ending a war: Inventing a movement: Mayday 1971

1971 May Day Protests
On Monday, May 3rd, 1971 one of the most disruptive actions of the Vietnam War era occurred in Washington, DC, when thousands of anti-war activists tried to shut down the Federal government in protest of the Vietnam War. The threat caused by the May Day Protests, forced the Nixon Administration to create a virtual state of siege in the Nation’s Capital.



Washington D.C. July 4th 2009

This March is a grass roots organization based out of Salt Lake City, Utah. Our aim is to gather One Million protesters in Washington D.C. July 4th 2009, for the worlds largest sit-in and protest of Marijuana being illegal. This will be a great act of civil-disobedience. We understand that many, because of family and jobs will not be able to sit-in till the end, but we hope that those that can will, until someone from the Government will address our issues. We ask that you spread the word and those that believe in personal freedom, and the rights for us to choose for our selves will not be denied. We ask that you be there to protest in Peace and non-violence.
Thank you

Pete Seeger Turns 90
Thousands Turn Out for All-Star Tribute

Legendary folk singer, banjo player, storyteller, and political and environmental activist Pete Seeger turned ninety on Sunday. More than 18,000 people packed New York’s Madison Square Garden Sunday celebrate the man, the music and the movement. The all-star lineup included Bruce Springsteen, Joan Baez, Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello, Ani DiFranco, Bernice Johnson Reagon, Billy Bragg, Ruby Dee, Steve Earle, Arlo Guthrie, Guy Davis, Dar Williams, Michael Franti, Bela Fleck, Tim Robbins, Dave Matthews, Rufus Wainwright, John Mellencamp, Ben Harper, and Ritchie Havens. We speak with some of the musicians, play Seeger’s music and play excerpts from our hour-long interview with Seeger in 2004.

Pete Seeger has been an icon of American dissent and creative energy for almost seventy years. He performed with Woody Guthrie and the Weavers in the ’40s. In the ’50s, he opposed Senator Joseph McCarthy’s witch hunt and was almost jailed for refusing to answer questions before the House Un-American Activities Committee. He helped popularize the civil rights anthem “We Shall Overcome” and marched with Dr. Martin Luther King from Selma to Montgomery in 1965. He was also a vocal critic of the Vietnam War and inspired a generation of protest singers. Later he became an important voice within the environmental and anti-nuclear movements.

"We yet may find the way to exclaim
The emperor is naked today-o!"
~ Pete Seeger

Schwarzenegger Welcomes Debate Over Legalizing Pot
CN Reuters By Steve Gorman May 05, 2009 Los Angeles
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said on Tuesday he welcomes a public debate on proposals to legalize and tax marijuana, which some suggest could provide a lucrative new revenue source for the cash-strapped state. The Republican governor, whose term in office expires at the end of next year, was asked about the idea of treating pot like alcohol at an appearance in northern California to promote wildfire preparedness. continued...

Schwarzenegger: Calif. Should Study Pot Laws
CN Associated Press May 05, 2009 Sacramento
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Tuesday that California should study other nations' experiences in legalizing and taxing marijuana, although he is not supporting the idea. He said it's time to debate proposals such as a bill introduced in the state Legislature earlier this year that would treat marijuana like alcohol. continued...



Schwarzenegger calls for a discussion on marijuana legalization
DWR: Tuesday, May 5, 2009

This is how politicians cover themselves.

Scott Morgan notes:

I like what's happening with this "let's debate it" line we keep hearing lately. It's a way for public officials to show interest in the subject without alienating anyone who feels strongly about the issue. [...]

Considering the famous Schwarzenegger-smoking-pot video that's all over the web, some will accuse him of hypocrisy should his position ultimately fall anywhere short of outright support for legalization. Still, it's notable in and of itself that we're beginning to see politicians shifting away from knee-jerk opposition to reform, in favor of the more open-minded position of endorsing a debate on the subject.

Mexico's Illegal-Reefer Madness
CN By Isaac Campos May 04, 2009 Los Angeles Times
Last month, Mexico's Congress convened a special forum to consider marijuana policy reform as a remedy for that country's current crisis of violence. The forum bucked a century of staunch prohibitionist history in Mexico, a history that has contributed to the continued criminalization of marijuana use throughout North America. From early on, marijuana was portrayed in Mexico as a frightening substance that produced madness in its users.
