We’re moving again! We need to leave the Xtreme Bean, so we’re in search of a new Monday home. While we look, we’re moving to the Fair Trade Café, which is where we normally hold our Saturday turn-in. We’ll be there from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. next Monday, June 29. The address is:

Fair Trade Café
Corner of Roosevelt and Central (1020 N. 1st Ave.)
Phoenix, AZ 85003

We’ll continue to search for a new, permanent Monday location in Tempe, and hopefully this will be our only Monday at Fair Trade.

IMPORTANT!

The location for our Monday turn-in has changed! Sadly, Coffee Plantation had to close its doors, so we’ve moved one block up the street to Starbucks.  The new location is:

Starbucks
Corner of Mill Ave. and 5th Street (420 S. Mill Ave.)
Mondays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Sorry for any confusion this change may cause. Feel free to e-mail Andrew at amyers@stoparrestingpatients.org if you have any questions.

Yesterday, on Memorial Day (yes, it was a holiday, we’re THAT committed) Melissa and I are collecting the first of the petition signatures that will put our initiative on the ballot and finally give seriously ill patients access to the medication they deserve.

Wow! What an incredible day! Thanks to all of you who came out to Coffee Plantation yesterday to make our launch such an amazing success.

For those of you who couldn’t make it, we had an absolutely fantastic turnout.  More than 50 folks came and signed up to help give seriously ill patients in Arizona access to the medicine they deserve.

Exciting news! Today, we submitted ballot language with the Arizona Secretary of State’s office, declaring our intention to put our medical marijuana initiative on the November 2010 ballot. When this initiative passes, Arizona will join 13 other states in recognizing the right of seriously ill patients to use medical marijuana with a doctor’s recommendation.

Welcome to the official AMMPP blog! We intend to update the blog regularly with the latest news on our efforts here in Arizona, so please check back frequently!
