Immediate Release: Wed. May 3, 2000, L.A. Millennium Marijuana March Contact: Sister Somayah Kambui 323-232-0935 http://www.hempishep.org Upset and joining people of South Central, citizens are again taking to the streets without a City permit, on Saturday, May 6th, meeting 10AM at Leimert Park, North-East Corner of Crenshaw and Vernon in Los Angeles. http://www.hempishep.org/mmm/index.html More an emergency distress signal than a May Day celebration, Saturday's event, organized by respected South Central legal medical marijuana grower, patient and activist Sister Somayah, will be one of nealy 100 worldwide locations of the Millennium Marijuana March for medical cannabis relegalization and for the legalization of the African rainforest root extract -- Ibogaine -- recently approved by the Federal Government for clinical trials after decades of suppression and underground use in remediation of heroin and cocaine addiction. http://www.cures-not-wars.org Sister Somayah will be available for press interviews today, and tomorrow Thursday, in her marijuana garden, about the Los Angeles Millennium Marijuana March. A prominent spokesperson, and patient, regarding the use of cannabis for sickle cell anemia, the last time she was arrested for marijuana possession the court found in her favor and ordered the police to return her marijuana plants which they did. Speakers at the LA MMM event will include Geronimo Pratt and Ann McCormick, the mother of legal medical marijuana patient Todd McCormick who was recently sentenced to five years in Federal Prison for growing medical marijuana with a doctor's recommendation, legal under California State Law Proposition 215. Todd's case is the first time in history that one sovereign (the US Government) has forbidden what another sovereign (the State of California) has legally authorized as medically beneficial. The African American community across the country, along with other informed citizens, are becoming increasingly outraged at the targeting of "minorities" in the bogus so-called "War on Drugs" by arrest, imprisonment and property forfeitures for nonviolent "crimes" associated with using the hemp/cannabis plant now still illegal under Federal Law only by continuing the fraud on a victimized US Congress which outlawed it in 1937 as "marijuana", after 60 years as the main ingredient in 90% of all medicines under its Latin name of cannabis, and after its use from time immemorial until then as hemp -- the most useful plant in human history for food, fiber, oil, medicines, fuel, paper, etc. http://www.jackherer.com http://www.chrisconrad.com Another Millennium Marijuana March speaker will be former Los Angeles Police Department narcotics officer and past member of the Board of Directors of the National Council on Alcoholism for the San Fernando Valley, investigative journalist Michael C. Ruppert who helped initiate the pending lawsuit on behalf of South Central L.A. and Oakland residents, against the US Department of Justice and the Central Intelligence Agency for their ongoing complicity in 80-90% of the trade in imported illegal drugs, and in the crack cocaine epidemic as acknowledged in the DoJ Inspector General's Report Volume2 that is still buried from public view in the House Congressional "Intelligence" Committee. http://www.copvica.com This lawsuit is supported by a unanimous resolution of the Oakland City Council under Mayor Jerry Brown, and LA MMM participants want the Los Angeles Mayor and City Council to offer their resolution of support as well. Ruppert, who favors legalization of all safe plants whose refined extracts have instead become dangerous drugs, believes that the truth about the hemp/cannabis/marijuana issue is the "domino" that will topple the fraud of the bogus drug war that is really just selectively plundering citizens' lives and property (eg, HUD housing forfeitures for profitable "urban gentrification", prison "slave labor business", etc) while protecting the American illegal drug trade whose laundered profits (estimated $200-250 billion per year) leveraged throught the banking system finance a major portion of "legitimate" business and political campaigns in the US. Also invited to the LA MMM May 6th is Independent US Presidential candidate David Crockett Williams, whose "running mate" is US political prisoner and American Indian Movement spiritual leader Leonard Peltier. http://www.freepeltier.org A chemist by education, Williams attended last November's First International Conference on Ibogaine, at the New York University School of Medicine, under sponsorship of MMM global coordinator Dana Beal of Cures Not Wars http://www.cures-not-wars.org Williams is also co-coordinator of Global Peace Walk 2000 which was in Los Angeles in February on its way walking from San Francisco to Washington DC, and to the United Nations for its 55th anniversary October 24th, to unite all survival issue messages in the prayer for "Global Peace Now!" as a universal human resolve, to help inaugurate the UN Year and Decade of Creating a Culture of Peace for the 21st Century, and to mark the midpoint of the UN Decade of the World's Indigenous Peoples. http://www.globalpeacenow.org Global Peace Walk initiator and Zen Buddhist Monk Reverend Yusen Yamato will be offering the opening prayer, blessing and message for the Millennium Marijuana March in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
