US: Washington: Cannabis Peace March Lights Up Downtown This Saturday

The Gothamist

Saturday 07 May 2011

NYC may be the marijuana arrest capital of the world, and the NYPD's aggressive stop and frisk strategy which has yielded those high numbers of arrests for low-level possession may very well be a form of institutionalized racism.

But if you're someone for whom those terrifying statistics don't matter, you can get your chance to rally for marijuana rights tomorrow at Washington Square Park with the Cannabis Peace March.

The organizers seem to have learned their lesson from last year's rally, which was set to start at 11 a.m...except almost nobody showed up for nearly an hour.

This year's rally starts at high noon on the east side of the park, with speeches and singalongs; then gatherers will march down Broadway to Foley Square, with the event ending around 2 p.m.

You can check out more photos from last year's "May Jay Day" here, and watch a video taken by NYU Local on the event below. Maybe the Marijuana Fairy will bless the occasion with some mysterious untraceable packages.
