DO IT TODAY! SUPPORT THE PIONEERS OF LEGALIZATION. We in the International Antiprohibition League need your help. We have quietly asked for money in the past. Now we are being aggressive about it. We cannot do this important job without substantial financial support. Yes, we have received some, but need a lot more.

We are carrying on a unique international campaign to repeal or amend the UN prohibition treaties and thus to open up the way for individual nations to make now-banned radical changes in their drug laws, including full legalization. Many of these activities are taking place in the United States, which dominates the harsh prohibition regime found throughout the world. To cite just one example of our work in the U.S., we are pleased to inform our friends that a major press event has taken place on April 29 in Washington. At noon on that day there was an historic press conference in the Murrow Lounge of the National Press Club. This has been the first of its kind in that major Washington institution wherein the rationale for amendment or repeal of the UN treaties and for responsible legalization has been laid out for the press and public of North America.

The event was chaired by IAL President, Arnold Trebach. The main speakers were prominent parliamentarians from other countries. Senator Pierre Claude Nolin chaired the Canadian Senate Committee on Illegal Drugs that proposed a major reform of the UN prohibition treaties and also recommended that marijuana be legalized, not simply decriminalized, within an innovative set of rational regulations.

Marco Cappato is a rising young member of the European Parliament and also a member of the IAl and its parent body, the Transnational Radical Party. He was recently voted the most influential European in a poll by European Voice Magazine. Not long after that he served a brief jail sentence in the UK for openly and non-violently defying the laws on marijuana possession.

The press conference was broadcast live by satellite to every television station in the US and Canada so that these stations could download parts of the event for later use on their own newscasts. Needles to say, such events put a considerable strain on a small budget. That is where you come in.
