Rally and Press conference on St. Patrick’s day in City Hall Park in Manhattan at 12:00 Noon. Joanne’s 10-minute talk will focus on how she supports a legalization model of drugs from a law enforcement perspective, and that includes marijuana. Other speakers include Dr. Julie Holland editor of The Pot Book: A Complete Guide to Cannabis and City Councilwoman Letita James, sponsor of Resolution 986 which supports the New York State bill that would standardize penalties of marijuana possession making possession of a small amount punishable by fine and an outspoken opponent of the NYPD’s current usages of stop and frisk procedure and racial profiling.
