At 5pm on March 29th, the SF Board of Supervisors will hear Green Party Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi's proposed moratorium on pot clubs. Many medical cannabis supporters believe this should be protested immediately and loudly. They say, "We will not go back to the fascist 50s; we voted 78% for Prop 215; we must continue to provide leadership by encouraging pot clubs everywhere and by supporting legislation to legalize all drugs as exists in most countries, thus getting all drugs off the street and eliminating the prison-industrial complex."

The proposed moratorium is Item 35 on the March 29th agenda. Medical cannabis is also on the agenda as Item 29, sponsored by Supervisors Mirkarimi, Alioto-Pier, Maxwell, Peskin, McGoldrick, Elsbernd, Ammiano, Ma, Dufty and as Item 28. The Board of Supes Meeting begins at 2pm, and if people want to hear discussion of these two other items, they should arrive as early in the meeting as they can.

In advance of the meeting, people have been asking for supporters to protest via phone, email, and snail mail. Read more
