On April 28th through May 1st 2025, we will be mobilizing the largest bi-partisan coalition of cannabis advocacy, industry, and grassroots organizations in the U.S. to lobby in Washington D.C. to put pressure on Congress and the President to fully legalize cannabis and provide retroactive relief for those harmed by cannabis criminalization. 

Visit lpp.la/420UnityDay to learn more and to sign up. Please register here for our public info session on March 5th at 3:30pmPT/6:30pmET or April 2nd where we will share more details and answer any questions.

We recommend folks arrive by the evening of Sunday April 27th. On April 28th, we will kick things off with the National Cannabis Festival Policy Summit from 10am-4pm at the MLK Library, and provide a Lobby Day Training directly from 4-5pm also at the MLK Library. On April 29th at 2pm we will convene at the Congressional Visitor Center (CVC) Auditorium. We will have an introductory program and ensure everyone is prepared for meetings with their legislators. Wednesday April 30th we will hit the hill and visit the offices of our congressional representatives. Lastly, on May 1st will hold the Great American Rally for Cannabis Freedom in front of the White House at Lafayette Square from 4-9pm.

All lodging should be booked independently by individuals or organizations. There is no set hotel or room block that folks will be staying in, but we recommend something within easy walking distance to the MLK Library, the Congressional Visitor Center, the U.S. Capitol building, or the White House, as those are the locations of our main events. Transportation will not be provided.

Individuals are encouraged to contact their respective lawmakers from their state/district to set up meetings for April 30th or May 1st. LPP staff will be available to assist in reaching out to all legislators to set up meetings. 

Use the graphics in our social media tool kit to announce to your networks that you're mobilizing  in DC and invite them to join us at our March 5th info session.

Call your Senator and ask for a meeting on or before April 30th to discuss their position on full legalization.

Plan an action or meet up in your community to encourage your allies to use this Unity Week in service of collective political action. 

We do not want anyone to be unable to attend because of security issues, so please check out the Capitol Visitor Center’s website to review all of their security policies. This includes the list of prohibited items so you know what you can or cannot bring into the building. No cannabis is allowed on the premises of federal buildings.
