4/20 Protest at CU Boulder

 BoulderCoalition states: "We will celebrate 4/20 and the right of We the People to peacefully assemble."

For many years, people from all over Colorado have gathered on the University of Colorado Boulder campus to make a statement about cannabis. While the school administration has never looked kindly on the event, attempting to quash it using various expensive tactics, all of which have failed, the event has grown to almost 10,000 people. This year they will be bringing in hundreds of police, working with the City of Boulder and the State Patrol, to choke the life out of this tradition. We do not accept that.

While it is true that the 4/20 gathering appears to be merely a party, this is a very naive interpretation of the event. It is also our First Amendment right to Assembly. The State of Colorado has become a leader in the anti-prohibition movement because we understand the ridiculousness of making a plant illegal. The gathering has been a statement about cannabis, that it is harmless and can benefit humankind around the globe, yet our political leaders still seek to deny us its use. Boulder has become a focal point of that message and we believe that this is a good thing.

We invite everyone who shares our beliefs to join us in making a statement. Unfortunately, as we must play a game of chess with the authorities, some details must be withheld until the last possible minute. However, a rough outline of our plan is as follows:

-Gather at one or more locations in Boulder, parking and traffic routes will be provided
-At 3 PM we march along Broadway, next to but not onto the campus. We will say hello to the police, then go our separate ways.
-We will return to an off-campus, large, grassy, gathering area, and eagerly await 4:20 PM.

This is a peaceful event. We will NOT, at any time, confront the police. Our march along Broadway is to make a statement that we do not want them on our campus.
