Now that springtime is upon us and the Illinois General Assembly is in session, Illinois NORML will be holding several Lobby Days in the Capitol building in Springfield, and the next one will be held Thursday, April 26th from 8AM-4PM. These lobby days are our opportunity to show the State Assembly, as well as the rest of the general public touring the capitol, that we’re serious about cannabis regulation reform in general and the pending medical cannabis bill in particular, and to better educate everyone about the issues. The more people that can attend the better, and please remember to dress and act professionally to help get our message across more clearly.
The Capitol Building is located at the corner of Monroe and Second Streets in Springfield, which is located close to the Amtrak Station for those who would like to take the train; there may also be one or more cars driving from the Chicago area, so please let us know if you’re able to attend but in need of transportation and we’ll try our best to accommodate you. Thanks to everyone that can make it in advance and please let me know if you have any questions about the lobby day!
Get Involved! Come to the Capitol and tell the lawmakers how you feel about cannabis prohibition. Participate in democracy and help change these unjust laws by joining us in Springfield and rallying to legalize cannabis. If you cannot attend our lobby day in Springfield please call your State Representative, State Senator at 217-782-2000 and Gov. Quinn at 217-782-0244 and urge them to end cannabis prohibition.
