The Richard Curtis for U.S. Senate campaign will be heavily involved in May Day activities this weekend. We encourage you to attend as many of these events as possible given the good causes they involve. The campaign will have people with signs and other materials at all of the events so please find the person with a bunch of signs and pick one up for the rally and for home, as well as other materials and buttons, etc.
1. The Annual International Marijuana Liberation March - Saturday
This one is a very exciting event that is happening in over 130 countries and thousands of cities and towns around the world. Locally it is happening in the midst of organizing for Initiative 1068, which would legalize adult consumption of marijuana and hemp farming. This initiative is vitally important to both divert people from the prison system and keep them part of society; it would radically reduce spending on courts, jails and prisons; and the farming aspect would open up opportunities for farmers all over the state to raise and sell and particularly easy to grow and useful plant – the most useful plant on Earth.
Gather at Volunteer Park sometime after 11AM (there is a program at each end of the march), speakers will start at 1PM just before the march starts. The march will go from Volunteer Park to Westlake Plaza, where there will be a few more speakers. (Richard will be speaking at Westlake sometime around 4PM, but the campaign will have people at both ends and in between.)
2. Immigration Rights March – Saturday
Given the new (and racist) immigration law in Arizona this annual event is expected to be especially important.
Rally starts at noon at Judkins Playfield (behind St. Mary's church, 611 20th Ave South), the march will leave at 12:30 pm to go to Memorial Stadium at Seattle Center.(Richard will be at Judkins Playfield at a minimum, but the campaign should have people at both ends and in between.)
3. Abolish Nuclear Weapons – Sunday (May 2)
Ground Zero and Abolish Nuclear Weapons are both very committed organizations that do excellent work trying to keep humanity from destroying itself.
Rally starts at 1:30 PM at the Seattle University Quad followed by a march to Seattle Waterfront Park (next to the aquarium). The campaign is in the process of building relationships with these groups and is an enthusiastic supporter of their efforts. (Richard will be at the Waterfront Park but the campaign should have people at both ends and in between.)
