Subject: [mayday] GMM Special #3: Brussels, Rome, Toronto, Tucson Make 15 Cities Protesting to Free Mark Emery, Sept 10-16

From Saturday, Sept 10 to Sept 16, Global Marijuana March Affiliates are holding protests at their local Canadian Embassy or Consulate appealing to the Canadian government not to capitulate to the outrageous U.S. demand that they extradite Marc Emery to the U.S. to face life in prison or a possible death sentence for actions that are not even crimes under Canadian Law.

So far 15 Cities are signed up to take some kind of action--Join them Now!:

Auckland

Brussels

Detroit

Halifax

Honolulu

London

New York

Oslo

Paris

Prague

Rome

Toronto

Tucson

Vancouver

Warsaw

Marc Emery has given millions of dollars from seed sales to help out whenever and wherever a local legalization group was a few  thousand short of accomplishing their goals. He has given major support to printing the annual poster for the Million Marijuana March, besides funding CANNABIS CULTURE and POT TV. He is the only major marijuana proponent to go farther, and start the first Ibogaine clinic in Canada after witnessing its miraculous effect on his son, a junkie. We cannot allow the U.S., under the rubric of the War on Terror, the seize our leaders around the world and bring them back to the U.S. to face life in prison or the Death Penalty.

Please read the following article, watch the video, and commit to doing some kind of a protest outside the Canadian embassy or consulate in your city on Saturday Sept 10 or the following week.  Sept 10 is when they're doing a big protest in Vancouver. It can really make a difference if we can all coordinate something with our Vancouver people, because most Canadians do not want to give Marc up! (It's a sovereignty issue.) This of Canadian Embassies and Consulates around the world can be found at http://www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/world/embassies/menu-en.asp

Get back to me; it is important that the MMM network be seen as being able to react globally and do something effective the next time the Forces of Darkness try something like this.

MARC EMERY BUSTED -- CANADA'S LEADING MARIJUANA ACTIVIST FACING LIFE IN AMERICAN PRISON OVER SEED SALES Controversy has erupted in Canada after police arrested British Columbia Marijuana Party founder Marc Emery and two employees at the request of the US DEA, which wants to extradite them. http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle/398/marcemery.shtml

Bruce-

You should check out the buzz on Marc Emery's extradition. The possible
death sentence is out there in public on the internet, and is on a short
list of talking points for emails to Canada's Minister of Justice Irwin
Cotler and media urging the Canadian government to block Emery's
extradition. The DEA has not yet assured the Canadian government that they
won't seek the death penalty. I must give you credit for bringing the
kingpin death penalty law to attention of me and many other activists.

Hi Dana!

Wow, that's some sweet news - this international support for Marc's plight is so heartwarming even to me that I can't imagine how it must make the BCMP3 feel. Beautiful. I doubt Franklin/Green Directory has any intention to organize a rally here in Toronto (he's more of a festival kind of guy), but one will definitely be happening on the 10th, with the support of all related organizations in our area including my many, and primarily organized I believe by Matt Mernagh of the Niagara Region Compassion Society. Of course, in Canadian cities we'll be protesting at the US Consulates (not sure if the Canadian Justice Department offices would be any more appropriate). As you know, if there's anything I/we can (ever) do to help or help inform, please don't hesitate to ask or tell!

 

Thanks and lots of love and respect,

 

All the best,

Dom
