The MPP Needs Your Help
January 14th, 2009 by Perry
With plans to expand their agenda after a successful 2008 campaign which brought legal marijuana to three more states, the Marijuana Policy Project is asking for a little help financially.
Recently given a donation-matching offer for up to $2.35 million, the group is asking all of its members to give what it can to get as close to possible to its goal. Last year, the MPP raised $2.49 million, short of its $3 million goal.
Some of the MPP’s goals for 2009:
- Passing medical marijuana bills in Minnesota, New Hampshire, and New York
- Expanding Rhode Island’s medical marijuana law by allowing for dispensaries
- Building support for medical marijuana legislation in Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, and Massachusetts
- Collecting signatures for a statewide medical marijuana ballot initiative in Arizona
- Building support for medical marijuana in the medical community (MPP has organized more than 8,000 physicians to help persuade more medical organizations to join the dozens that already support medical access to marijuana)
- Passing marijuana decriminalization legislation in Vermont
- Influencing the Obama administration to roll back the federal war on medical marijuana
The group was a big part of campaigns in Michigan and Massachusetts, which had pro-marijuana initiatives pass successfully on each of its ballots.
