Texas NORML, the Texas state chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, is proud to announce that on Saturday, May 7th, former New Mexico Governor, Gary Johnson, will be joining us at the Texas State Capitol for the Texas Marijuana March & Rally, from 2:00pm to 4:00pm.
Gary Johnson is the former Republican Governor of New Mexico, current Honorary Chairman of the “OUR America Initiative”, and an outspoken proponent of legalizing marijuana for responsible adult use.
The Texas Marijuana March & Rally will also feature National NORML’s Chapter/Outreach Coordinator and Podcast Producer, Russ Belville and former professional snowboarder, TV personality, singer-songwriter, & NORML Women’s Alliance member, Greta Gaines.
We will also have a featured performance by Chief Greenbud.
We are encouraging everyone in attendance to meet Saturday, May 7th, 1:15pm, near the corner of 12th St. and Trinity St., adjacent to Waterloo Park. From there, at about 1:45pm, we will march down to 11th St. and over to the South Capitol Steps for the rally from 2:00-4:00pm.
Parking is available in the Capitol Visitors Parking Garage at 1201 San Jacinto located between Trinity and San Jacinto Streets at 12th and 13th streets. Parking is free for the first two hours and $1.00 for each half hour thereafter (maximum daily charge: $8.00); accessible parking is available with accessible routes to the Capitol. Metered spaces are available throughout the complex.
That evening, following the rally at the Capitol, we will have an after party at Momo’s Club, where you can meet & greet Gary Johnson, Russ Belville, Greta Gaines, and Chief Greenbud.
