Dear ASA Members and Friends,
Americans for Safe Access (ASA) is visiting cities all over California to train and empower medical cannabis patients, providers, and advocates. We will be conducting a free Know-Your-Rights and Raid Preparedness Training in each city, followed by very special city-wide Stakeholders’ Meeting. Please plan to attend these meetings in your home town or nearby:
What: ASA Training & Stakeholders’ Meeting
When: Thursday, September 1, 2011
Raid Training 4:00 PM
Stakeholders’ Meeting 7:00 PM
Where: La Jolla Brew House, 7536 Fay Avenue, La Jolla
The need to mobilize the base in California has never been greater. Cities and counties are adopting regulations, moratoria, and bans on patients’ associations and cultivation. Patients and providers routinely encounter resistance from law enforcement. Media bias and public ambivalence threaten to roll back gains made over the last few years. State lawmakers are grappling with legislation that will have a huge impact on patients’ welfare, and federal pressure on medical cannabis is mounting!
ASA knows that the key to adopting and implementing good policy at the local, state, and federal level is having a trained and activated grassroots base in the community. There is no other way to make it happen. The ASA California Tour 2011 is a chance to reconnect with the grassroots campaign for safe access – or to get started fighting for patients’ rights for the first time. Don’t miss this great opportunity.
We hope to see you soon!
Sincerely,
Don Duncan
California Director
P.S. – Please help ASA provide free services like this to patients and advocates statewide. Make a special contribution
