Please show your support by attending one of the events listed below. If you are unable to attend, please make a donation to help in the final days before the election.
Final Push Fundraiser at Mayor Hickenlooper's Bar in Denver
We will be holding one final fundraiser for this last push across the finish line. And what's more is we're doing it in style! Please join us Friday night from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Mayor Hickenlooper's Wynkoop Brewing Company at 1634 18th Street in downtown Denver.
This event is being hosted by NORML's Allen St. Pierre and SAFER's Mason Tvert, and confirmed guests include Norm Stamper, George Rohrbacher and Dr. Robert Melamede.
There will be a cash cocktail service and we will have delicious appetizers available. The recommended donation for this event is $50 ($25 for students) and all proceeds will go to the SAFER Voter Education Fund, of which the Amendment 44 campaign is a project. This event is FREE for all elected officials and candidates!
We really need your help to keep funds coming in so we can keep getting materials out. We must maintain this momentum into Election Day on Nov. 7, so please come out and help give this campaign one final boost!
Checks and cash are acceptable at the door, otherwise please visit our donate page today to make your payment and then contact us to let us know you will be attending.
** Important - The use of marijuana will not be tolerated at this venue. Our opponents and law enforcement will be watching for this, so please do not do anything to put yourself or the campaign in jeopardy **
There are a few BIG names in marijuana law reform stepping up and speaking out in favor of Amendment 44, the measure to make marijuana legal for adults in Colorado.
