On April 18th, 2024, 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. for a 420 Unity Day of Action 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 April 3rd at 3:30pmPT/6:30pmET where we will share more details and answer any questions.

We recommend folks arrive by the evening of April 16th. On April 17th, we will hold a press conference in the morning, attend 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 18th for Lobby Day, we will convene at the Congressional Visitor Center (CVC) Auditorium at 9am. We will have an introductory program and ensure everyone is prepared for meetings with their legislators. We will leave the auditorium by 11am, and individual meetings will take place until 4pm. We will be having a White House candlelight vigil that evening from 7-10pm at Lafayette Square.

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 18th. LPP staff will be reaching out to all possible legislators to set up meetings as well and will work to coordinate meetings so a variety of offices are covered.

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.
