We hope to have hundreds of peaceful protesters there! Please mark your calendars for this important date now.

The rally will coincide with a hearing for convicted medical cannabis dispensary operator Charles Lynch, who faces decades in federal prison if the judge does not grant him a new trial at the hearing on October 6. Supporters will gather in the courtroom at 8:00 AM to support Lynch and his family, then rally outside at 11:00 AM.

The planning for this large event starts this Saturday at the LA-ASA meeting.
