Citizens’ Cannabis Lobby Day 25

1) Click Here to register for Citizens’ Cannabis Lobby Day

Add your name to the list of citizens coming out to support common sense cannabis policy.  With many large and well-funded organizations lobbying against cannabis legalization, we need citizens to come together and stand in solidarity for sensible cannabis policy.

2) Find your current legislators and Senate and House districts at legis.delaware.gov/

Many seats in the House and Senate will be contested in the September primary election and November general election.  Learn more about the incumbents’ cannabis voting history and the candidates’s responses to our cannabis policy survey in our Cannabis Voter Guide, to be released in  lateAugust at votecannabisde.org.  We’ll update the site as we receive survey responses from the candidates.

3) Call and make an appointment with your legislators. Use this example to help you:

“Hello, My name is ____; my group is having a citizen lobby day on January 16, and I would like to set up an appointment to speak to my Representative/ Senator or their aide please”.

Please let us know your appointment time at info@delawarecannabis.org so we can add you to our schedule. 

4) Spread the word, get others signed up!  

5) Follow us on Facebook for updates and explore delawarecannabis.org to learn more ways you can get involved in your community.

6) Meet us in the lobby of Legislative Hall at 10:30 am on January 16.   

With cannabis legalization garnering a majority vote in the House in 2018 (21 for, 15 against, 5 not voting), but failing to pass due to a supermajority vote requirement, we’re well-positioned to pass a bill to legalize cannabis in 2019.  Help us keep the pressure on legislators to vote with the citizens of Delaware and not well-funded special interests who profit from prohibition.  

Legislative Session starts in January and runs through June.  With just six months to pass legislation through both chambers of the general assembly, it’s important to start the session strong and keep the pressure up on our elected officials.   

Talking points will be provided, but feel free to prepare your own personal message, as well. 

Delaware has no voter initiative (referendum process), so directly engaging our local Representatives & Senators is the ONLY way the law will change.

Please Dress Professionally.
