Philly Global Cannabis March

Location: Meet at Broad St. and South St.; Headhouse Square, Philadelphia, PA 19147
Time: 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Date: Saturday, May 01, 2010

In over 300 cities worldwide, supporters of marijuana law reform take to the streets to protest prohibition policies and demand the changes that are inevitable. Legalization and regulation of cannabis hemp for all purposes - industrial, medicinal, recreational, and religious - it doesn't matter why you support marijuana legalization, come out and join hundreds to thousands of your fellow reform advocates here in beautiful downtown Philadelphia. Our route begins at the intersection of Broad St. and South St. where participants meet beginning at 3:00PM. At 4:20 the march begins east on South St. until we arrive at Headhouse Square at 2nd St. and Lombard St.

Speakers, vendors, and music will be awaiting the crowd of over a thousand people at Headhouse Square. Speakers include Senator Daylin Leach, who will be introducing a medical marijuana bill in the Senate shortly, local reform activists, and others TBA.

Participants are encouraged to wear costumes, be artistic, make floats, whatever creative thing you can think of to get in the spirit of things. PhillyNORML will also be having a sign making meeting on April 15th at 7:30PM at the A-Space (4722 Baltimore Ave. Philadelphia PA 19143).
