NEWS RELEASE: April 20, 2005

ATLANTA JOINS GLOBAL MARIJUANA MARCH
Marches scheduled in 200 cities worldwide

The “Million Marijuana March” has been scheduled for
Saturday May 7th, in downtown Atlanta. This annual
marijuana legalization event is organized by the New
York City organization “Cures Not Wars” and is
sponsored by the Atlanta Chapter of C.A.M.P.,
Coalition for the Abolition of Marijuana Prohibition.

The cannabis activists plan to assemble at 11:00 a.m.
in HURT PARK adjacent to the Georgia State University
campus, at the corner of Edgewood Avenue and Courtland
Avenue. The march is scheduled to pass the Georgia
State Capital, Atlanta City Hall, The Fulton County
Government Center, Woodruff Park, and continue up
Peachtree Street to International Boulevard, and then
to continue down to the CNN Center, where they will
demand that the media giant cover this worldwide
event.

The MMM is a variety of organizations joining in
protest against present laws governing cannabis, with
regard to medicinal marijuana, hemp, legal status as a
controlled substance, and the reform of present
penalties for possession and personal use of cannabis
in the City and the State of Georgia.

CAMP is presently involved in a Federal Court Case
against the City of Atlanta concerning the City’s
Outdoor Festival Ordinance. CAMP argues that the
ordinance is restrictive and acts as a form of prior
restraint of free speech and assembly, one argument
being that the statutory 90-day advance application
requirement is unconstitutional. The CAMP Legal
Defense Fund, Inc. is presently pursuing a appeal in
Federal court against the City of Atlanta over other
provisions of the City’s Festival Ordinance.

This year’s Global March is to be held in 200 cities
worldwide on the same day, The target of the march in
Atlanta is the Fifth Estate, mainly CNN NEWS CENTER,
downtown Atlanta. The international promoter of the
event is CURES NOT WARS in NYC. www.cures-not-wars.org

A benefit rally and concert is scheduled after the
march. The location for the event is the IAG, The
International Artist Guild at 345 Memorial Drive SE.
It starts at 3 p.m. and will go late!
